Applications
Tech Note 1: To Install
QU40037 Spindle Lock Washer is installed between the inner and outer QU40036 Spindle Nuts. After you set the wheel bearing end-play and apply the final torque to the outer nut, you bend one of the right angle tabs into a slot in the outer nut.
Tech Note 2: Single Use Part
QU40037 Spindle Lock Washer is designed as a "Single Use" part. For safety reasons, these parts are intended to be installed once and only once! The key slot tab, which keeps the washer from turning, can become fatigued and break off if the washer is reused or if the outer nut is over torqued. You must discard any QU40037 lock washer that is removed from the spindle for any reason and replace it with a new QU40037 Spindle Lock Washer.

Perfect fit, original appearance.

These parts are always the ones that break or are bent, I ordered these to keep as spares around for when I need them, they test fit perfectly are a great product.

Much needed pat
Some would say to just reuse this washer again but it's not a wise idea as these items can be work hardened in between brake changes, especially the tab that fits into the keyed slot on the axle housing

Spindle nut lockwasher
All of a sudden nobody locally can get this part any more. Once again you guys have come through with parts for my old junk that most places have not carried in years. Thanks for helping to keep the old stuff on the road
