Does anyone know if the pop-in tremolo arm's socket can be adjusted in any way to alter the tension on the arm on an American Deluxe Strat? Mine simply slides in with no "pop-in" at all. Hence, it simply falls out if the guitar is tilted all the way forward. There seems to be a nut of some sort in the trem cavity near the socket area. Does anyone know if this is some sort of hex adjustment nut for the pop-in feature? Thanks

Well, there is a hex adjustment screw to adjust how freely the trem arm spins in the hole ...

when new, you really have to push hard to get them in.
