Well with the bolt problem, use locktite. The rear end problem might be a chipped tooth on the ring gear.

It could also be a bad pinion bearing in the rearend. Better get it checked out soon before it takes the rearend out completely. Might want to pull your driveshaft and have a driveline shop check it out also to rule out a bent or out of balance shaft. The reason the bolts keep coming loose is because of vibration.
