Every so often my axle housing loosens up and starts to roll back and forth. I have put on lock washers and it lasted longer but just recently came lose again. Is there anything that I can do to stop this from happening on its own?

Stretched thread on the bolts resulting from over tightening may cause them to loosen off.
What condition are the chain and sprockets in?
Worn chain and sprockets can cause a loose/tight situation and punish the fastenings to make them fail.

36 ft lbs, no Loctite or the threads may be stretched by over tightening due to the lubricating properties of Loctite.
I didn't do loctite but I most likely have over tighten them after the first two times it can lose so I'll get a new bolt and nut and go from there
