Yep, looks like your jam nut is loose. This may cause DW, as mentioned in this thread:

You may have a couple of problems. Jam nut should be up against the long side of the track bar to keep the joint from moving after it is set to the correct length. It also keeps the joint in position and reduces the vibration on the threads. If the jam nut has been loose for long you may have some serious wear with the threads both on the male and female side. This could prevent the jam nut from being able to support the threads and cause a catastrophic failure in the future.
hopefully good bye to DW!
