Those of you with an AOD and the metal replacement for the original nylon bushing...do you find that the cotter pin that came with it is secure? On mine it feels a bit loose or flimsy, but it's held so far. Wondering if there is a better way to secure it, because it just seems like it could fall off one day with enough repeated movement.

I also have a hitch pin clip that is a little bigger and stronger, but do any of you have a better method or do you feel the cotter pin it comes with is good enough? Or is it more of a case of just compressing the cotter pin a bit? BTW, from anyone's experience, does it matter if the bushing is inserted from beneath or is it better to be seated from above?
