Question: I can't get my torque wrench and socket in the tight space for the lower nuts. I feel like i need a pass through torque wrench. Or a joint piece. How did you guys do it? Thanks!
These are the new nuts. But obviously they did not work.
The 3rd picture (sorry it is flipped 90 degrees) is the old factory nut

When I put wheels back on it I did torque all them to 120 flbs and haven’t had to touch in 1500 miles where see some say loose again with New nuts and or dealership Work. I was getting the bmr but for now if this stays tight will just let it be. Maybe a lot of people just don’t get them tight enough is all I can come up with since I didn’t even bother with locktight since had plans on changing when came loose again and just haven’t.

Here is the TSB for loose endlink nuts from GM:

It needs a washer, maybe a simple lock washer would work, but a Nordloc and LocTite are the known permanent fix.
