If its a strat type where it screws in then theres not really a solution, you shouldnt screw the arm in too tight in case you strip the threads inside, I think you can buy from Fender a little spring that drops inside the whammy bar hole and as you tighten the arm it compress`s the spring making the arm stiffer (oo er)
If its a FR push in/pull out type then if you dive the strings there should be a little grub screw in line with the whammy bar underneath, might be a hexagen head, you`ll need to tighten that
ever so slightly to stop it flopping about (
)
The other FR type has the nut that tightens up the whammy bar, you`ll just need to tighten that up in the position you want the bar, my Jackson has this last type and it does unscrew with use till its floppy (eek), theres a small little t-bar that the nut tightens on to (ouch), I put a tiny bit of grease inside there to reduce the friction, it helped a bit but I still have to give it a little tweak from time to time (tee hee). hope that helps a little.
Sorry about the inuendo`s
