whoa, that sounds dodgy! glad it was picked up. i would have thought there was a retaining 'pin' (split pin or similar) holding such a nut in place. hmmm.
good luck with the FSDs; i hope it's sorted quickly. so much for quality control! but surely that can't be common.
so are FSD's not adjustable like the Sport dampers?
