I'd suggest simply re-tightening then checking occasionally, until you're satisfied that it's going to stay tight.

As to cause, perhaps it was miss-tightened at some previous maintenance point... or better minds here may have more informed suggestions.

Also, check the rubber flex couplers for cracking or aging.
