Mine siveled too however I chose to thighten the nut so that it is straight up.
My thought behind it that it wil make a hell of a noise when driving and the handle hitting the steel floor all the time.

Given how much noise these trucks make I don't think you will hear it, though I did once wrap mine in a cloth when I was searching for a new rattle.


They are a nice conversation point, people ask "what that handle for?"



Cheers Phil

It seems to me if the CMP is lurching over rough ground and you reach down to support yourself with that handle you're setting yourself up for your forehead smashing into the unforgiving channel under the windshield on the next bump. These things should come with warning labels.
