Happy New Year everyone!
I've had an issue off and on over the past few years and couldn't find anything listed when searching. I've noticed the lug nuts will loosen shortly after some procedure that requires the wheel(s) to be removed. This only happens on the front and not every time. I rotate my own tires and do brakes etc so I have them off periodically. Maybe 1 in 5 times one or both front wheels will do this. Usually several lug nuts per side. It has happened when I did the work and once when a dealer did some work. I always use a torque wrench and have always used 100 lb/ft. I always check/re-torque after a short ride when I have them off but just sort of wondering if this is common. I should probably have my TWrench recalibrated but shouldn't be off by that much. I've never seen it on any of my other vehicles.
