Exactly!
The nut was loose!
Check the other side too.
A half inch drive breaker bar that you can take back to Sears and a three foot piece of heavy wall 3/4" water pipe. Think it's a 24 mm six point impact socket. The Haynes book gives 288 to 340 foot pounds.
A hundred pounds of down force at the end of the three foot pipe slipped over the end of the breaker bar is three hundred foot pounds at the nut. How much do you weigh?
Tighten the nut to 340 Ft Lb's then a little more to line up the first of the two cotter pin holes.
Use a new cotter pin too.
