So I took my wheels off to bleed my brakes and when i put my front one back on I noticed it had significant play in it (particularly the right side). Thought great the bear is out. Well I took it back off and pulled the cotter pin out and noticed the castle nut was loose. I just changed out this axle last week and torqued it down to 60ft lbs like it calls for. Well i tightened it back up, put in cotter pin and it was back to normal. Other side with stock axle was the same way though. Whats the deal with this and do y’all torque them down a little more to keep this from happening? Should i put a little blue loctite on them just to help it out?
Axle nuts keep coming loose?
