Default axle cap fasteners

Check your front axle cap fasteners.

Installed new wheels today,
and one of the axle cap fasteners was just over finger tight.

5000 mile service, I will do tomorrow.

Of course I will be checking on all of the critical fasteners.
I do believe the axle fasteners fall into this category.

Moral of the story:

Don't wait, keep an eye on critical nuts, bolts, etc.
