That's a little excessive. Just put some blue loctite on the bolts and that should do it.

Yeah the same thing happened to mine. I never put loctite on it though i just keep tightening it up. Maybe next time I do it I will spring the 4 or 5 dollars for loctite.

Blue Loctite fixed it for me. I made the mistake of only putting it on the top bolt the first time, and had to go back and do both bolts about a month later. Been quite a while since then, and it's still as solid as if it had been welded. I yank the **** out of it, too.
