That isn't the static load in a turnbuckle which is exposed to many of
the conditions that cause common fasteners to loosen.
You would think so. But guy wires (and turnbuckles) seem to be under a
different dynamic situation than nuts and bolts in a motor for example.
Vibrations are relatively slow, and tension never nears zero in a system
with proper pre-tension. I think.
