Once one goes the rest will follow in short order. If they come loose and you have driven very far grease starts coming out the CV joint. If there is any sign of grease clean the threads extremely well in the hole and get new bolts. the CV joint grease will prevent the Loctite from working and the result is the bolts will back out. Repack the bearing.

Hi it's a 97 tiptronic. If the bolts shear off are they a pain to get out
