Axle Nut (Rear) [Bus & Vanagon]

GoWesty Verified independent store

→

We offer two rear axle nuts—and while they both use a 46mm hex, that’s where the similarities end. You can buy the standard aftermarket version anywhere for about the same price. O r you can do it right (and do it once) with the GoWesty 100% stainless steel axle nut, complete with a stainless-steel cotter pin. Why go stainless?Take a look at that torque spec below. Yep—360 ft/lbs. Combine that massive torque with years of corrosion and… good luck getting the old one off without a torch. Been there, done that, never want to do it again. That’s exactly why we made ours out of stainless steel.
