Nylocs coming undone on steering?

As I only taxed my Sumo for 6 months following the SVA this May I ended up having to go for an MOT this week in order to retax it.

Glad I did take it in far an MOT as the tester found that the nyloc nuts on the upper wishbone ball joints had undone past the nylon part and were only held on by a turn and a half.

6 months and 1000 miles ago when I took it for the SVA the regulatory 2+ threads were showing out the bottom of the nyloc so I am concerned as to why they have come undone and worried that it might happen again resulting in accident or worse.

Any hints on stopping this happening again?

regards
Rob
