Front knuckle bolt torque

greetings. long time since i posted, hope everyone is well. i've been struggling with the front left knuckle on the left side of my 3/4 ton command car. the knuckle is, i believe, the same as on the ffpw and m37. issue is that the the 4 cap screws that hold the steering arm to the top of the knuckle work loose over time. i've tightened several times and find they work loose, which is not a good thing. i do have power steering. I'm considering drilling the cap bolt heads for safety wire and then tightening up the assembly. Thoughts? I didn't have this issue on my m37 with ps and bigger radial tires....
