Problem with Loose wheel nuts

[crazycup]

for some reason since changing my front pads the passenger wheel nuts are loosening themselves after about 20 miles or so - i only noticed when i heard a horrible noise when i stopped accelerating (but not braking) .... anyone know what causes this problem ????

are the threads damaged?

they dont look damaged. They go on fine without any resistance ... when i got out from work tonight i literally could of undone them with my hands ..... its still on original disks

This usually happens if the wheels get refurbed/repainted. The holes on the alloys that the bolts go into should have no paint where the taper of the bolt sits.

if the bolt holes have gone slightly oval from being loose then you will have to replace the wheels and bolts as they will keep coming loose
