Wheel lug nuts work loose 850 1993

Don

That seems almost too quick. Are these alloy wheels? Is it possible that some lube of some sort got on the lugs or the bolts ?

When I rotate tires on alloy wheels, I inevitably will get one or two on separate wheels to loosen a little after about 50-100 miles(normal with alloys). So I just retorque on go on my way until time to rotate tires again.

Clean the lugs and nuts with brake cleaner and dry then retry it. Once I got a little anti-seize on the lug and it caused me problems till I cleaned it off.

Take it easy on the right turns too. Left front means lots of pressure on that wheel when turning right.
