Lug nuts on one of our 850's have worked loose twice in the past week. I had torqued them to 82 ft. lbs. each. Both times, it happened to the left front wheel.

The car has over 130,000 miles and I had just rotated the tires 2,000 miles ago. After I re-torqued tham, I drove the car for several days and no problems. The next time I drove the car, all 4 lug nuts worked themselves loose.

Anyone experience this before?

I plan to install a new set of lug nuts and see if that cures it.

TIA.
