Not if the wheel dosnt move. I would jack it up just enough to where there is slight pressure. You can always make the redneck axle adjuster tool to make sure its the same on both sides. Wire coat hanger and a zip tie.

The adjuster will hold it in place.

Did it about 2 months ago. No issues. Just make sure you torque the nut back down to spec.
