Default Knocking in front end!

So brought the monte out because it was a nice weekend...no issues until tonight when i drove it there was a clunking/ticking/knocking when coasting and slowing down(with out brakes). When i step on the gas or brakes it goes away. Besides brakes is there anything else that would cause this problem? I just had wheels and tires put on. Thanks in advance!

Ok so i just checked the wheels and the front lugs most had loosened up. Will this keep happening? or is there some way to prevent this?

No. It should be done. Once you have re-torqued the wheels down, they should stay put. Congrats on an easy fix though!

I'd give them a double check anyways. Better than saying "you picked a fine time to leave me loosewheel" LOL.
