If you have been riding on it with a loose crank bolt you may have damaged the square taper spindle and/or the cranks. Get a crank puller, pull off both cranks, clean, regrease, and torque to spec. See if that works out. You may also want to overhaul your BB (if cup and cone) or replace if cartridge, since you already have the cranks off.
