I guess i could see that. I am concerned about putting it all back together and it happening again.

it usually does take a couple of months for them to come undone. the replacement of the bolts isn't THAT important here; the important thing is that you clean the bolts AND the flange holes with brake cleaner to remove all traces of road goo & CV grease prior to application of RED loctite & torque to factory spec.
