if you can't get it any tighter, then that's as far as it goes. that's is assuming that you clamped the top while wrenching on the nut.

the other way to do it is to use some vice grips and hold the actual rod from the other end. Basically jack the car up, and grab it between the coils of the spring with the vice grips, and try tightening it more.

i tried getting to the rod to tighten it, but the dust cover is in the way. i couldnt tighten it anymore..
The nut is so tight, what would be the chances of it popping off?
