The carrier is narrower than the cog (as it has to be), so properly setup lockring should engage just the cog - this gives a chance of some play on the splines between the carrier and the cog - I find it to be a design flaw.

Nevertheless, it works ok since last tightening, some 600k ago.

Are you running the carrier on a Miche hub or something else?
