If you don't set those nuts there is enough play to make a lot of noise as well as wear out the fitting in the linkage. I didn't have one tight for awhile and with the amount I drive on the road it was starting to get loose and make some nice noise. THe noise comes from going in reverse and applying the brakes and the going forward you get another chunk.
