Put a vise grip on flat of DS rod & see if you can tighten it, not too much to worry though. Be careful you don't turn too much to lose threads on half-round ball (maybe epoxy on to bar). Take cam cleats apart & see that they haven't "jumped" the small post inside. If they're Harken (black/red), spring is probably broken (Murrays has). Be sure to oil them. Pete
