New from Stage 8 – X Lock Spindle Nut replacements for off-road enthusiasts. These spindle nuts are laser cut and made from 4130 steel and will fit Dana 44, 60, and 70 axles. They are built to withstand the harsh treatment seen in off-road use. See more details below.

Official Release:

Originally designed for the military, Stage 8’s X Lock Spindle Nut replacement systems have become a must-have for serious off-road enthusiasts since they debuted in 2006.

Standard spindle nut systems loosen and can’t confront the harshest off-road conditions. Stage 8’s X Lock Spindle Nut systems can replace Dana 44, 60 and 70 spindle nuts and are laser cut from 4130 steel for a perfect fit. They install easily without the need for specialized tools.

Extremely adaptable for most applications, the spindle nut itself can be locked in any positions and will maintain a required bearing preload value.

Stage 8 X-Lock Spindle Nut systems come with four parts: a specialized bearing washer, the spindle nut (which can be set to an individual pre-load value), a notched washer (which has an inside tab that fixes its position in relation to the locating groove in the spindle), a locking retainer and a heavy spring steel snap ring. Additionally, the assembly is available in a limited space version.

Features:

• Replace Dana 44, 60, and 70 spindle nuts
• Laser cut 4130 steel
• Install easily without need for specialized tools
