Does the outer nut have holes for allens to lock it in place like the Raptor? Those allens can fall out and the holes can be overlooked.

Also: it is important to be sure to seat the bearings properly when installing. If they are not all the way in,,,,it will seem as if the nuts have loosened,,,,when really the bearings just settled into place.

mark the location of your nut (on the axle) with a small drop of paint,,,touching the axle and the nut (after you tighten it), to see what is actually moving (the paint drops will misallign).
