Type 25 Front Stub Axle Nut

This heavy-duty front spindle nut is designed specifically for securing the front wheel hub assembly on Volkswagen Type 25 (T3) models. Manufactured with a precise M18 x 1.0 inner thread, it ensures a correct fit onto the front stub axle, providing the clamping force required to hold the hub, wheel bearings, and brake components firmly in place.

The spindle nut plays a critical role in the front suspension and wheel assembly. Once torqued to specification, it is designed to be peened into the groove on the spindle, locking it mechanically in place to prevent loosening under load. This self-locking design is essential for maintaining wheel security and safe operation, especially under braking and cornering forces.

Over time, original nuts can become worn, damaged, or lose their locking integrity after removal. As these are typically a single-use, peened locking nut, replacement is strongly recommended whenever the hub or wheel bearings are serviced. Ideal for routine maintenance, brake work, or full restoration projects.
