Best choice for spindle nut locks
- Thread starter nedceifus

A pinion gear nut with a locking tab? I've messed with a few Dana 44's, 60's, 70's and 80 and a few 14 bolt axles but I've never seen that.

Everything I've messed with had pinch style nuts (originally and in installation kits).
LOL whew, I thought I was loosing my mind. Haha!!
So now that you fixed the title, what axle are you working on?
Sounds like a 14FF to me.
Now I know that somewhere in the mid to late eighties, the 14FF apparently changed to one single nut with a key locking it to the spindle. A snap ring holds the key.
Lots of people like that style, and I would too if it wasn't for one side of my '95 axle. It wouldn't set properly with one of those. I went to the old style to get it where I wanted.
I have heard that a Stage 8 will work, but no experience.

Ahh, well I put a set of Stage 8 on my D60, I liked how they went one, but I have no endurance test to proclaim..
Yeah, if you don't mind the extra $$, the Stage 8's are the SHIZNIT. My only beef is that they don't actually fit the 14BFF that they are supposed to fit. Front axles, though, should be easy peasy.
