I wouldn't trust it if it won't tighten up. Have access to a welder? Some people have spot welded the upper joints to the control arm to secure them.

Lock Tite with the peened sleeve seems to have done the trick can't even turn it in the vice now that it has set up. I'll put a couple tack welds on it for the extra insurance. Hopefully I won't have to change these again this thing is going to really be locked in there. In hindsight I probably would have been better off just doing the tack welds but I didn't think of that.
