    I know this is an old thread but I did wonder why the back left wheel kept falling off. This has happened twice in the last two years, once with the wife driving vthe other myself. Both times thankfully it was at low speed. Both involved replacing the left brake assembly and a new rim. I have since got rid of my alloy time and replaced them with steel. Over all it makes me nervous when I hear or feel anything out of place when I drive.
    Still not sure what the real issue is that causes this.

    I take it you drive a GU with Alloy wheels,
    Have a search plenty written plus nissan sent out nut indicators.
    Hope not too much damage

    NOTE;; After you have any work done which requires the rims to be removed,
    stop and check after 20km.. or drive 10ks then drive back for them to re check
    there is a torque value to tighten these nuts

    Does the torque value apply to steel rims as well as the Alloy

    Im trying to find it but yes steel rims would have a torque figure as well.
    118-147Nm is the torque setting you require, maybe use the higher end of the two
