I find that the nuts on the two u-bolts that connect the spring to the chassis are continually coming loose. After about 100 miles I can tighten them by at least one turn. The two front nuts are easy to reach to tighten. Access to the two rear nuts is impossible while the engine is in place. 
All of the nuts tighten down on to spring washers, but these washers don't prevent the nuts from coming loose. 
I was wondering whether other forum members have experienced this and found ways to keep the nuts tight?
