Are the nuts loosening up or are they actually sliding off the the threaded sleeve?

The threads might be stripped, take them off and look closely at both the sleeve and the nuts. Other than that I don't know.

If it is a stock nut some times they don't look like they are but since they are so fine of a tread they really are. the only thing you can do is make a spacer the same size as the axle and maybe a 1/4" wide. crank the nut all the way in slide it over the axle, put the spacer on and then put the retaining clip on. This should give you cleaner treads to work with.
