loose axle nuts

[ald42]

after reading about loose rear axle nuts thought i'd check mine(05 35k mi) took 33mm deep socket and by hand could back both sides off!! removed same,cleaned threads w/small wire brush,put on threadlocker and torqued to 118lbs. as a note there was no evidence of threadlocker on axle or nuts? NEW INFO. there is a tsb 07-04-95-001 stating if axle nuts are loose to replace w/new nuts pn10257766,locktite and torque to 140lb/ft. NOTE-the original torque was 160lb/ft and then changed to 140lb/ft. SOOOOO i'll be redoing mine!!

Thanks for posting this.

Hopefully, since I just changed all my wheel bearing, I should be good for another year.
