[HELP] Do Nylocks Walk?

[johnyradio]

Hi

I've been advised that new Nylocks, never removed after installation, have a tendency to walk. 

Anyone out there experienced this?

Thx!

Only in extreme cases of vibration. And certainly if they are overused - meaning removed and reused more than twice.

Yes, if you're fastening parts of a top fuel dragster, nylocs won't hold up. But for home applications, they work quite well.

NEVER use Loctite with nylocks. Some types attack the locking element.
