alright so i went outside with the ol man and I opened the cap on the rim that hides the lug nut, and one of the lug nuts was so loose i took it off with my hand but it wont go back in all the way ,the second one was jammed, the third one work fine and the last one the lug nut came off with the stud without me even touching it .....which is kinda weird because the last time i touched the lug nuts was 25 miles after i got them rotated about a month ago.....the sqealing was the top of the caliper grinding against the rim....im going to fix it tommorow .... what do you guys think could have caused this??

1) Probably at the place were they rotated the tires tighthen them to much. They use the air tools.

when I do rotations, i allways ask for hand tighthening and the right torque. I have a label in the trunk with the information and the guys already know me for been a pain in the ??????? for this.
