Could be the bolts or over fill of the CV joints, i did this and sprayed it everywhere till i found some better/proper CV boot ties.
As for the bolts yes thread lock, make sure its all nice and clean before though.

We pretty much used Loctite 242 everywhere - it is an anitivibration threadlock which has medium strength - it allows for disassembly. It resists oil
and vibrations. Hasn't failed us once... all bolts remain tight and in place after 3 years unless we broke the seal ourselves. Most all other
places have locknuts.
