Default front axle cap nuts

I have pulled my front wheel again and every time I do I find the inside cap nut loose I noticed it last year when I did wheel bearings now I'm rebuilding the front shocks I allways tightened and torque to spec this time I guess I'll try some blue lock tire anybody have the same issue or am I just missing something
