Is there a way of knowing if you have a loose rear axle nut or do you pull the wheel and check the torque every so often? I understand this problem is on C5 , C6 and C7's. I don't want to find out what happens when the wheel falls off.
I replaced my axle nuts this boring, used 150 ft-lb of torque, and installed the old nut on top of the new one.Loose wheel nuts will result in loud clicking sound from rear end.Wheel will not fall off.See updated TSB 07-04-95-001a dated May 28,2008.
It requires new wheel nuts Part #10257766.Install new wheel nuts using Loctite 272 Red.The TSB says to torque to 160 ft lbs.Talking to tech he said to torque to 140 ft lbs.I compromised and used 150 ft lbs and and used the old nuts to double nut the new axel nuts.
Haven't had any problems since.

No issues.
we are having a brake job done on our 2011 & we asked the mechanic to check the nuts.sure enough- one was almost off.............going to install 2 new ones!!Is there a way of knowing if you have a loose rear axle nut or do you pull the wheel and check the torque every so often?
