Default ??? about full traction control arms

Hello everyone. Been a while, freaking hurricanes!! I was wondering if anybody could help me whith an issue Im having with my control arms. I have a full traction ult. 3". I dont no the proper term, but the gold end of my control arms keep ending up slanted to the right or left. I think I read somewhere that these should stay vertical or straight up and down. I have lined them back up several times and tightened the lock nut down as tight as I can and it keeps backing off. I didnt put a torque wrench on it, but I put out on that thing the last time. It was freakin tight and it still backed off. Should I use lock tite and be done with it? Any help or advise is always appreciated.
Later

try putting some red lock tite on the jam nuts and when you tighten them up, try giving the wrench a tap or two with a hammer.

Default thanks

I didnot notice anything as far as ride quality or handling problems. I just noticed that they were crooked and I remember reading that it will damage the arms over time. but I may be wrong about that. Thanks for the help way of life.
