Default Loose torque nuts on Teraflex tie rod

Hi all

I had an alignment done at a Jeep service, which ended up with the steering pulling to the right when 'centred' and tie in set at 7.5mm.

I took it to my local garage on Friday and they adjusted the thrust, aligned steering and set toe in at 2mm.

I noticed a clunking noise yesterday and investigated and found out that both torque nuts on the teraflex tie rod were loose. I've tightened them up and drove down my street and it seems ok.

My question is could the toe have changed as a result of the loose nuts? The steering stabiliser is attached so not sure it could have moved? I'm not overly keen to take it back a third time but will do if it could have moved and needs realigning!

Cheers

Liam
