Lug nuts keep loosening

[mcnulty6807]

Hey,

I recently did a front end rebuild with the help of this site.

I took it to get an alignment afterward and the mechanic told me I need new wheel hub assemblys. I told him I would do it on my own and noticed when I got home the lug nuts were loose. I thought he had forgotten to tighten them so I torqued them to 100 ft/pounds.

Today after driving to work I noticed the same wheel had loose lug nuts again, could a bad wheel hub assembly cause this?

Do you have factory wheels? or Aftermarket? What about the Lug Nuts?

Also keep in mind that lug nuts on Alloy wheels need to be re-torqued after about 50 miles, to allow the wheels and lug nuts to heat cycle.

Factory wheels and lug nuts. I will try re-torquing them after 50 miles.
