You could try using new locknuts or using red threadlock.

After a while the nylock part of the nuts will wear and won't grab as it once did. Replacing them and adding a drop of threadlock (the read stuff might be overkill, the medium sterngth blue will hold them fine) will keep them in place all day.

Basically just what guver said

Some vehicles loosen up repeatedly, usually it is only one side because of the threading direction. Some just loosen up with strress/flex. Lots of mine had loosened since day one.
