Ours were never undertorqued and have never loosened. Some members have had to torgue theirs more than once. I believe this must be due to stretch or compression of the tube. Either way if you loctite the nut,as Jack said, you won't know the u-bolt is loose.

At the recommendation of a shop I trust, I loosened the U-Bolts, applied some "Blue" Loctite and torqued to specs (65 FT/LBS) in my case. No issues to date. I'm sure there will be those of you out there that will say the u-bolts will stretch and therefore I will never know if they loose. I guess time will tell.....but I feel comfortable with this fix.
