steering wander-another possible cause

hey guys,
i have been having the same wandering problem that is mentioned in several posts. i found that tightning the 1-5/16 nut that holds the pittman arm to the steering box eases the problem.
here is the real issue... why is this nut loosining up every 3 times i drive the ex? any thoughts?

Maybe not tight enough, use lock-tite and stake it with a punch and your problems will be gone.
