When I bought my 1974 Sequoia, in November 1977, The passenger side
six cv bolts were loose. I tightened them to spec and 500 miles later
they were loose again. This time I installed new bolts with locktite
and torqued to 70 ft lbs. 500 miles later they were loose again.

Turned out the right front wheel bearing was failing. After replacing
the bearing, the cv bolts have never loosened again.
