MG TD TF 1500 - Loose steering wheel

The nut that holds the steering wheel to the steering column keeps working loose. Is there a lock washer that should be there too? Thanks.

Ken,

I haven't experienced your particular problem, and no, I don't believe there is a locknut present. Maybe you can use some Locktite when you re-tighten the nut?

I suffered the same problem. I found that I needed a thicker washer under the nut as the nut was bottoming out on the thread before the taper on the steering column was fully engaged. I also used loctite on the nut and have had no further problems.
