Weird as this may sound, something is making my lugnuts unscrew on their own. I first came across this when it felt like a wheel was shaking for the past week and a half so i checked the lugs and two were really loosened, and 2 were ok (on just one wheel). So i tightened them up again, thinking that it was because maybe i forgot to tighten, lower, then tighten last time i change the rims. Well, a day later, i felt something weird again and there ya go theres one lug thats starting to come loose. Does anyone have any idea how this could possibly happen [Confused] ? The axles are two month old Superior 31 Splines. Anyone??

Are you torquing them? I torque to 85-95 ft lbs. Has this happened often, or just when you put the new axles in? With new axles your wheels sometimes need to be retorqued so the studs fully seat properly. This is common with Moser.
