Rather than a cotter pin, the tang washer clips over the top of the adjusted nut to hold it in place, reducing maintenance fiddliness and giving a longer-lasting lock for frequent towing and service. The parts are sized to match 1\" D spindles and support a wide range of axle ratings from 2,000 to 9,000 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these tang washers improve axle nut retention?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tang washer design slips over the jam nut and engages the nut’s flats so the nut cannot back off under vibration.

If you maintain or repair trailers with EZ-Lube jam nut axles — including light utility, boat, RV, and commercial trailers specified for 2K through 9K axles — these xyocx spindle tang washers and nut retainers are a practical replacement or spare.
