W/ SS shocks, has anybody had any trouble loosening up the adjusting nut when you try to adjust the ride height? When I turn the ride height adjusting nut, whole shock body turns ending up loosening the shock cap. I've been grabbing the shock body with long nose plier when I adjust the height to prevent it but was wondering if there's any solution. My S411 also has SS shocks but it doesn't have that sort of problem. I believe over time, adjusting nut may loosen up but so far not. I applied some bearing oil on the rubber ring inside the nut but didn't help. Obviously I use much thicker shock springs in 747/748 than those in S411. That plays a factor too.

EDIT: I was referring to the adjusting nut, not the upper shock cap(in the first sentence).
