The studs and nuts soften, stretch and move.You could try to source Ti squash nuts. Unlike normal squash nuts that lose their spring after a few times getting hot. Ti is less likely to soften with the temperature and will retain its spring better locking onto the studs.Make sure the studs are locked so they don’t come loose and you will still need to re-torque the nuts occasionally if the studs are stretching.
