The lug nuts on my left rear tire have come loose twice now and I don't know why. I have tourque Thrust D wheels by American Racing and am using the acorn style lug nuts. The last time it happened, I made sure to tourque the lugs down pretty damn tight. This doesn't happen on any of the other wheels. Could it be the wheel stud threads are worn and I need to replace them? Needless to say, I don't trust driving it much until I find and correct the root cause.

Make sure to check for paint in the seats and if you used any anti seize on them clean it off with carb cleaner. Retighted and take a drive then check them.
