Secure the front hub and hold wheel-bearing preload with the Dorman - Autograde Spindle Lock Nut Kit 05194. A spindle lock nut threads onto the spindle to retain the wheel hub/bearing assembly and hold the set bearing preload in place; the included cotter pin and retainer lock the nut so it can't back off in service. It's a direct-fit replacement for a long list of vintage front applications — including 1974-1978 AMC Gremlin and Matador, 1970-1986 Ford LTD, 1979-1993 Ford Mustang, 1970-1988 Ford Thunderbird, 1970-1980 Lincoln Continental, and 1975-1991 Mercury Grand Marquis. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of AMC, Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models.
