Discovered mine were loose on the rhs today and I can't work out how they could have loosened off.

I've never touched them before today when I tightened them up.

Could it be a PO not tightening them up or do they work loose occasionally? Seems weird that they were loose at the hub and the gearbox...

Happened on mine and my old SEAT Ibiza, I just torqued them up again and all has been fine since. The Ibiza had exactly the same system and we had the drive shaft fall off twice, loctite sorted it on that.
