rod screw problems

Hello BBoard
I would like to find out if anyone has had any experience or has any ideas about a problem I'm having.
The rod crew on my upper joint key stack keeps working its way lose and unchecked, the stack falls off whilst playing which happened to me. I find that I have to check that screw often and just tighten it up occasional - really just a bother than a problem.
A rod screw keeps coming lose on my flute as well and the same thing was happening on my saxophone. However on the sax I eventually cranked the screw shut and no problems but i can't do this on the others because the keys will not lift if the screw is too tight.
My thoughts are that because I have been driving recently, rather than taking public transport, motor vibrations have worked the screws lose (I also drive a diesel car - maybe these vibrate more?)
if anyone has any ideas about whats going on that would be great or quick home fixes too
