Loose Hub Nuts - GM 10 bolt - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

'88 K20 Suburban

Back in September, I noticed that my driver's side wheel had a shimmy in it. Traced it back to a loose hub nut. Tightened the nut (torqued till wheel wouldn't spin, backed off a touch, then sucked up the "lock nut"), and buttoned it all up. The passenger side was the slightest bit loose, so I did the same thing on that side.

Jacked the truck up to R&R the brakes, and I noticed the driver's side is loose again. Passenger side is still tight. Something doesn't seem right.

Any thoughts?
