Not Recommended

This spindle locknut is not compatible with the S197 wheel hub assembly. This will destroy the pen. Stick to the OEM locknut with the floating washer.

Pros
  • Reliable quality backed by a team of US product experts and over 100 years of automotive experience
Cons
  • Hard to tell

No holder needed!

The Dorman Spindle Locking Nut does exactly what it says on the tin - locks the spindle nut in place. I don't know why the product description says "kit" - it's just a lock nut in the box. The factory nut has a "lock" that holds the nut in place, but the Dorman nut has an internal "lock" built into the nut. No need for a holder. You will need a 1/2" x 36mm impact socket to remove/tighten the spindle nuts. -250 ft/lbs For best results, retighten both spindle nuts after 1000 miles.

Pros
  • The perfect solution - this nut is a reliable replacement for a missing or fatigue-fighting original part.
Cons
  • High price.

Unlike OEM: Axle

Everything seemed to work fine. The only thing that bugs me is that the original OEM had a swiveling washer so any movement of the bushing didn't affect the nut; However, this has been fixed.

Pros
  • Beware - to ensure this part fits your vehicle enter make, model and fitment into Amazon Garage
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

A must when replacing a wheel hub assembly

Once you unscrew the old nut, it's dead. To make sure your new wheel hub is on stays in place, get one of these. A few dollars will save you time and peace of mind.

Pros
  • Quality you can depend on, backed by a team of US product experts and over a century of automotive experience
Cons
  • Available in white only
