Axle flange bolts working loose on D80?
I'm having a problem keeping the right rear axle flange bolts tightened on my truck. Had some rear end work done 2 months ago and he had to heat up the hub to remove two snapped flange bolts, but he replaced all of the bolts with grade 8 hardware on both sides.
Now twice in about two months I've had all 8 axle flange bolts work their way finger loose and start leaking gear oil badly. The first time I used red lock tight and an impact, now less than a month later its happened again.
Any ideas?
The drivers side hasn't given me any problems?!?!

By constant wobbling if the tire/wheel assy is even slightly out of balance. Throw some lock washers on it, my M/H has internal star lock washers on the axle bolts.
