20 is quite big one and it should be tightened with high torque.
Can't believe that it comes lose
I know. They're stretch bolts ya see... They work loose with the microscopic fidgiting of the hub.

Got an old discovery now.
So that means that only XC90 Driveshaft Bolts will sort it out?
Maybe use really strong threadlocker?
There is many with a different strength.
What I believe it to be is... When these cover an amount of miles, there's wear between the driveshafts and hub. This wear manifests itself in a tiny amount of movement which can, but not always, loosen the hub bolt. My drivers side one is fine. I discovered that my passenger side one was missing, shortly after I got the car and by then, the damage was done. I bought a new bolt for it but with all the loctite in the world, It won't stay put for more than a month , however, give it a try and see how you get on. The rubber washer on the xc bolts take the little bit of movement out before it starts undoing the bolt - usually.
Here it is, in the middle of the big, shiny, round thing

Available from Superflex, if you really need them and sell a kidney

Just to add I powerflexed the fronts at 100K, the rears are still OK at 185K.
Some Plod P2's have different front pins and Powerflex bushes don't fit.

I put poly bushes on today and must say that it is pain in the ass job.
Pin was straight but i fluted it with an angle grinder so it fits nicely without squeezing.
Above instructions were very handy so big thanx.
Drive shaft bolts weren't loose and they look like brand new, maybe already replaced with some proper ones.
Glad it went ok mate but I would have reemed out the bush, rather than grinding the pin, mainly for speed and ease
What was hardest?...
Getting the old bush out or inserting the new one?

I think getting the old ones out was quite hard but inserting new ones wasn't easy aswell.
The good news is that its all done.
