because it's not tight enough.

If you're talking about the axle nuts, they should be torqued to 159 ft/lbs and there should be a cotterpin that goes through the hole in the axle shaft to keep the nut from coming too far off.

there should be a castle nut and cotter pin that goes on there to stop it from coming loose.

yeah i have torqued them both side to 159 ft/lbs and use the castle nut and cotter pin, but it just keeps coming loose again....it like my 6th or 7th time... im really getting tired of it... so what can be the problem??? could it be my clutch?

how many times did you click the torque wrench?

Check the thread on the axle maybe you over-torqued it and damaged the threads on it thats why it keeps coming loose if thats the case you'll have to get a new axle.

click only 2 time... i didnt want to over tighten the nut..
