Tech Note 1: 2-1/2" hex Replaces 2-9/16" Hex 
Dana has listed the QK4730 components including QU40052 Nut and QU40051 Spindle Lock Washer as the correct replacement parts for Dodge Dana 60 front, Dana 60 rear, and Dana 70 rear axles equipped with hex nuts since the late 1970's. These are the parts we have used on customer trucks since that time. So if you need the entire nut set for your 1975-1991 Dodge 4x4 Dana 60 Front Axle or 1957-1979 Dodge Dana 60 or Dana 70 rear axle, and wish to save a few $$, order this Set instead of 2 QU11070 nuts and 1 QU40051 Washer, just remember the hex size is slightly smaller (2-1/2" instead of 2-9/16").
