it sounds like you're not getting the bolts tight enough, or else they are stripped, or coming loose. try removing the bolts and inspecting them, put on a lot of wd40 and run the nuts all the way down to make sure the threads are clean, and then when you put them on, tighten the crap out of them with an air gun or a LONG breaker bar. i don't see a torque spec, but they're big bolts, with 18mm nuts, so they should accept about 100 pounds of torque.

braces are just pieces of steel. unless they are bent, weakened, or damaged, they should be fine.
