when i bought my ex it had a durablue +4 rear axle, but the nuts and sleeve that hold it tight to the swingarm carrier look to be stock and it likes to come loose and let the axle slide left to right up to a half inch at times. does anyone have any pics or ideas of what i need to buy or do? i used loctite on the threads of thenuts and it worked for a while but didnt last. any input app.

You can try electrical taping the locknut. The stock locknut sucks, if it was me I would get an antifade or a pinch bolt style.

I have had great luck with my RAD locknut. The dual pinch bolts keep the locknut firmly clamped to the stock threaded sleeve so it won't back off. Antifades are good too but a little pricey due to the included brake hub ($200+). The RADLOC is around $50 instead.
