Thy are a special "Acme" type thread.

I'd use Loctite thread locker Red if you feel the need.

What's the issue?

Also the nut for these should have a large internal shakeproof washer........that coarse thread is to allow grease to travel between the pin & bush, tho' the shiney edge to the thread halfway along indicates some wear to my eyes..........whats the inside of the bush look like?.........andyd

The shiny area is where I hit it with a wire wheel just to clean it up for the pic.

The issue is that both upper and lower retaining nuts were finger tight.  I replaced the lower pin and bush assembly on the drivers side. It came with a castellated nut.  If I can't find any then I guess it'll be done up with Locktite and the 'shake proof' washers.  

Andydodge....Thanks for the explanation on the use of Acme threads on these parts...makes sense!
