I'm new to Carriage-but this is a common problem-I am of the opinion that part of the reason these bolts loosen up is because the rest of the tolerances on the Carriage slides are so close-most slide assemblies have a little play-the Carriage slide mechanism is impressively tight, and it seems to me that the three bolts that hold the motor adapter to the gear bracket are the weakest link.
If you're gonna replace the gear I think that putting blue Loctite is essential to protecting it in the future-and keeping an eye on it. The pillow bearing assembly is a great solution but may be excessive for someone that doesn't run the slide in and out continuously. Remember to check any other big slides you may have-probably due to be tightened up too!
