CV Joint Cap bolts should never be re-used, always replace with fresh.
These bolts rely on stretching and being under tension - that's how they remain tight. Once that happens, you should not use them again. They lose a good bit of their elasticity in the first use and if re-used, will work loose in the future.
Besides, anyone unwilling to spring for all of $12 to replace them probably shouldn't be driving a Porsche anyway.
Cheers!
