The design was fail safe for a reason.
Correctly installed:
If the nut falls off, the lower spring perch retains the bolt against even the most extreme vibration or stress, makes a really nasty noise, but you can still drive it to a repair location.
As currently installed:
Simple impact with road junk combined with vibration could cause it to seperate, potentially leading to death, yours and/or others.
