That, IMO, is the one weakness of the standard Companion hitches; the Nylock nuts. I'm on my 3rd set in 11 years.
The upgraded 3500 Companion hitch (rated for 20K trailer weight) base and adapter post used with the Turnoverball gooseneck hitch no longer use the u-bolts and Nyloc nuts, nor does the 3600 Companion used with the Ram OEM 5th wheel hitch prep kit, the subject of the OP's inquiry. I upgraded my Companion to the 3500 for use with the new 5th wheel.
