Axel Nuts oose (Another Data Point)
2006 Coupe with 9310 Miles
Drivers Side Axel nut < 20 ft/lbs
Passenger Side Axel Nut < 20 ft/lbs
Car never driven hard or tracked. Wondering if they were torqued properly during assembly.
Nut size is 33 MM. Purchased socket at Auto Zone for $13.99.
Sorry about the misspelling of Loose in title.

Please let GM know
GM needs to understand the extend of this issue. This is a link to the Bowling Green Assembly plant
http://www.bowlinggreenassemblyplant.com/
When that page comes up you will see a yellow button in the center of the page labeled "Owner Feedback". When you click that button it will start the process to fill out a feedback form.
I think that everyone that has this problem should report it on this form. You can indicate that you already have the corrective action procedure and that you just wanted to make GM aware that you have experienced the problem. Provide any facts you have, which nut(s) were loose, how loose they were (torque if you started low like I did to measure existing torque) and anything else that you might have noticed. You should also report it to your dealer the next time you are in for service.
Save The Wave,
John
