Guys I need help.

My rear driver wheel keeps comming loose. What I mean, if you lift up the car and take off the e-brakes it has some major play(the whole disk moves too). I have tightened (sp) that mofo (one big nut behind the disk) as hard as I can and then, i dont know how to say it, bent the end of it into the groove.

Well that works great for like 3 days and it gets loose again. Now its been making this rubbing/crackling/thumping kind of sound when driving and it has play even right after i have tighten it. I checked the tire and its not rubbing anywhere.

I also just adjusted the camber (longer bolts and washers) but that problem existed before I did it.

What the heck is it? I really dont want to take it to a mechanic because im broke but i might have to.

bearing?
tie rods,

mechanics give free estimates.

thats what i do, go down say "buddy i need some work done, take her for a spin, tell me what you think, and ill come back in the ned of the week when i get paid"

so he says "yah bla bla bla bla"
and i get on turners and say "defiant, o lord of the dsm, how do i fix this elusive bla bla bla"
 
probably wheel bearing.
