My bolts keep coming loose on me and I'm wondering if i can just put some loctite on them. I broke 3 joints already (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) so a new set is in the near future once the current ones brake on me.

It is kind of difficult to loctite the bolts, as when you put them through you almost always get some moly lube on them.

If you are torquing them properly they shouldn't back out. I believe Dr. Evil offers sets of pre-drilled for safety wire CV bolts.

Are you using the correct grade 8 triple-square bolts? Torquing properly?

Use the correct washers and you should never have a problem. schorr washers I think they are called. Wiring them will also solve the problem, but the washers are the easiest and they work.
