NEW FRONT DRIVE AXLE NUT
Use the new nut, P/N 10289657, whenever the front drive axle nut is removed. This new nut is a torque prevailing nut and is silver in color. The
old nut is black in color and has a sheet metal cage around the nut. Using the new nut will provide a more consistent clamp load
on the wheel bearing and should help prolong the bearing life.
Tighten the new style nut to 235 Nm (173 lb ft).
The old style nut torque was 385 Nm (284 lb ft).
IMPORTANT: Some front wheel hub kits may have the old style nut included in the kit. Discard the old nut and use the new nut, P/N
10289657.
