Axle nut coming loose??

your wheel bearing may be shot now. You may need a new hub. Happened to me when I let a gut change my clutch. The ******* didn't retighten the axlenut, and despit me retightening it, it came loose again twice, and i found my wheel bearing was shot. I wound up just replacing the whole steering knuckle with one from a junk yard. (avoid having to press out the bearing and hub... etc...)

on my 97 there was a castle nut, and on my 99 it's just the nuts..

could that be it?
