Coilover bottom locking collar click noises

I have some Tein Flex coilovers that seem to last around 1,000kms before the bottom locking collar starts to come slightly lose and click when coming to a stop.

Are there any tricks in making sure the collars stay tight? (without fully over-tightening them and potentially threading them)?

Perhaps a low strength thread locker like Loctite 222.

Never had an issue with my BC's

Were they nice and tight when you put them on?

Might be a brake hose rubbing on the lockring :)

Yeah they have been tightened up several times since I've had them... (once with a dab of locktite).
