Upper ball joint keeps coming loose

Hey guys I replaced all the balljoints in my '92 4x4 about 6 months ago. 4 times now my steering gets all loose.

I've jacked it up and the upper ball joint alignment cam is loose in the I beam. The pinch bolt is always tight, I loosen it up and tap the alignment cam back down flush and tighten the pinch bolt.

It will stay tight for a month or so and the same crap happens....

Anyone have this problem? If so, whats the fix?

BTW --> I have the Moog adjustable camber bushings.

Thanks!
