Careful with Loctite + Nylon nuts. Loctite can eat plastics (like Nylon) and you may actually end up with a worse failure.
Using lock washers + nylon nuts is a pretty reliable way to make a secure bolted connection. If they loosen over time, you should be able to just snug them back up and get another long period of time before they loosen again. This is all we do, and we don't have any complaints.
