WI front spindle nut detorquing

hey guys i have an 89 na that i just put new stance coilovers on. Well about a week or two after i put them on the wheel bearings on the front started making noise. I took the front wheels off and sure enough the nut was loose as hell. I did the pre-load procedure to both sides. The problem comes in now that the drivers side keeps coming detorqued. Has anyone else had this problem? Can i just torque the nut down harder? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I torque mine to 25 ft lbs. They can loosen up a couple times when new bearings are installed, then typically stay tight.

Are your wheel bearings still in good shape?
