7) I'm running Yokohama's 225/60/R15s Front and rear Directionals
8) Upper control arm nolathane bushes

I've had my car wheel Alighed 4 to 5 times over approx 10 mths,it's good for a couple of days then it starts to track. It really ****es me off - Any ideas of fix would be very much appreciated.
One more point,I've also put on Drilled-Slotted rotors now these seem to over hang the hub by about 1cm-1.5cm (Front).My Fr Wheels espec the right fr seems to work slightly loose where u kick tyre wheel moves slightly,infact i can nearly jump on the fr bearings with socket and the wheel can still turn hlf way.And they dont tend to last long.Do these rotors need slightly bigger wheal bearings.All this work.Thought I'd ask u guys because l read some of the reply's and you guys seem in the know
THANKS

Your front disks seem like the problem they should fit snuggly onto the hubs not overhang them... It sounds like they aren't seated properly on the hub and they are wobbling around which is causing your wheel nuts to slacken with the vibrations.... Jeez I wouldn't drive that car till you get it sorted out... you don't want to be driving along and a front wheel coming off.

Maybe the tyres are stuffed,were they on the car before all the front end work was done?
as said if the wheel is not seated on the hub one day soon you will wave goodbye to one of your wheels rolling past cause your studs snapped off,
that lip on the hub and hole in the middle of the rim take the weight of the car, not the studs, if the weight is placed on the studs as yours is, they will break off
