It looks like your nuts haven't been re-torqued. Notice how the line across the axle goes over the staked portion of the nut. That indicated that those are original nuts in their original position.

You should re-torque them. If you want to use clock positions, get a Sharpie and write a 12, then you can move the 12 to 2 o'clock! If you move it 60 degrees the nut will look the same, only where you marked it will move to the next face.


There is another DIY if you have questions:

kolyan2k looks like they've never been adjusted. A 36MM socket and 4 foot pipe are less than $30 far less to spend then replacing your hubs.

If he has an impact gun taking them off, greasing the face, and retightening to the factory position takes about 30 seconds.

Can't you just scribe the nut in it's original posistion then when returning the nut to its original posistion, tighten to the 2 o'clock posistion?
BTW- Lowes has this 36mm socket for $8.47

xAgyex, it looks like you tightened your driver's side about 120 degrees and the passenger side 90 degrees.
