spindle nut nub broke off

[texcl]

So I'm putting my truck back together, and the little nub or **** on the first spindle nut breaks off, what the heck. I was so close to being finished. I don't see the lock nut with the nub on napa, even the set doesn't look like it's there. Is this a critical part?

Nub? Can you get a pic?

Or are you talking about the spindle locknut? Yours should be a one-piece ratcheting locknut unless someone has previously replaced it with the older 3-piece ones (locknut with a dowel, washer with holes all the way around, then another locknut).

i think he's talking the front
imho.... yes it's important.
why? the whole thing will self tighten or loosen

mine has the 3 piece locknut, washer then other locknut. The 1993 service manual states it is the correct type. I found one 1 1/2 hours away for $50. yup front, sorry should have mentioned it.

I assumed you were talking about the front. Never seen the other type for a Sterling.

Check pricing on ebay, summit racing, Jeff's Bronco Graveyard, etc. They all have 'em.

make absolutely sure it's D50/D60 compatible. not D44

My 60 has the exact same setup. Never seen the ratcheting one on the front, personally.

Stinks, that there aren't any locally. I will hit up all the auto stores in Grand forks while I'm there, otherwise I guess I'll have to wait on a,mail order job. Thanks for the link by the way, that's the best deal I've found on a spicer set.
