How did you tighten it last time? They might be torque to yield, which means they should be replaced. A big ass impact gun will usually yield it enough that it is fine, although not an official recommendation.

I bought a 25-250 ft-lbs torque wrench just for this job, torqued it to 200 ft-lbs. But this was in November and the temp was 20 degrees in my garage, don't know if that might have been part of the problem also. This was on the passenger side, will take off the driver side and see what the torque is on that one.
It was all brand-new parts during the install for the axles, hubs, and nuts. I have to order a new wheel center cap so might as well order a few more axle nuts too, just to make sure.
