    Do you use the stock nuts with the nylon ring in it? If you do, the nylon in the nut could be wore out. If that doesn't help there is always blue thread locker like jk said.

    Is the nut that holds the wheel in the car coming loose? If so, use loctite(blue). Is hub screw coming loose that holds the 17mm hub to axle stud? If so use loctite (blue). Sounds like you have a wicked vibration or you you have metal to metal without loctite.

    If its something other than these 2 scenerios, find a way to make duct tape work for ya
