Dorman - HELP Spindle Lock Nut Kit P/N:04993
Keep the front hub held securely on its spindle with the Dorman spindle lock nut kit, part number 04994 from Dorman - HELP, which pairs a new spindle nut with the necessary hardware designed to match the factory equipment. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1979-1993 Ford Mustang, 1987-1991 Ford Country Squire and 1987-1991 Ford LTD Crown Victoria. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
The spindle nut threads onto the end of the front spindle and holds the hub in place, and the kit's hardware helps keep the nut retained. Signs it may need replacing include damaged or stripped nut threads, missing hardware, or looseness at the front wheel that traces back to the nut. Diagnose the cause first. When installing, follow the vehicle service information for bearing adjustment, torque, and which components must be replaced rather than reused.
