They should not move if torqued properly. On high mialage or abused cars they will creep over time, path of least resistance ect. Unless of course you car can wheel stand but that falls in to the rhelm of abuse.

hmm...so what should i do ? I am sure it affects aligment? Do they adjust that stuff when doing an aligment?

Definately adjustments for aligment and leveling. If the car as been aligned lately the shop may have moved them. If not you may think about getting your car in for a check. You can also check the manual and see what the torque spec is and make sure they are in spec.

Asking again have you hit anything lately or had your car towed lately?
