    Slide Piston Retainer Nuts

    Just noticed that my living room slide piston retainer outboard nut is a "nut's worth" loose from the bracket (see picture). I don't remember observing this before, but from a mechanical standpoint it does not seem like normal unless a certain amount of play is required. Any thoughts? I'm thinking I need to tighten it up since the threads in question show no rust from exposure.

    Thanks for your input in advance,
    Devin

    Mine are like that and GD told me that is how some/most are. It is the adjustment for full in and full out. If your slide is closing all the way and opening all the way, you should be good to go.

    Its normal, the double nuts are jam nuts and shouldnt move on their own, the single nut is a locknut which also shouldnt move on its own. The distance between them looks normal.
