Most nuts of that type are one-time-use self locking. They will not
necessarily come loose if re-used and properly tightened but they are not as
tightly secured. They generally have deformed threads or a plastic locking
compound to eliminate the need for a cotter key. Best to replace it.

They are also torqued to over 200 foot pounds. So you need good wrenches and
need to torque it properly or it will come loose.
