Stage 8 Locking Spindle Nut
Stage 8 Locking Fasteners developed this patented Locking Spindle Nut for the United States military and the heavy equipment industry to increase the durability and reliability of special use vehicles. Now 4 wheel drive off road enthusiasts can enjoy the comfort of knowing rugged driving conditions will not loosen the front spindles on their vehicles. The Stage 8 Locking Spindle Nut is guaranteed not to fail.
The assembly is comprised of five parts: a thrust washer; a specialized notched washer; the spindle nut (which can be set to an individual pre-load value); a locking retainer; and a heavy spring steel snap ring.
The Locking Spindle Nut assembly is easily installed without any specialized tools. The system is adaptable to just about any application and specification. The spindle nut itself can be locked within ½ degree of any position so you will never have to over or under torque and will maintain a required bearing preload value. This extremely tough innovation withstands severe reverse torque, a real plus when you're 25 miles away from civilization.
You will want two sets: one for each spindle.
