Default is this normal

I thought i had a bad control arm, i was getting that klunk while driving.. well everything was replaced this past June, all the control arms front and rear all tie-rod ends ect. i got under the car to see what was going on, and found that the bolt for the front sway bar was so loose the nut was almost off, I tightened it and then checked all the other bolts.. i found 3 other that were lose.. is this normal..

Either they wern't tightend properly or there is a bigger problem like striped bolts. I dont remember if you are supposed to use lock-tight on these or not but could also be the problem.
