Flange Nut

About this product

The Flange Nut (#9017822001), a vital component in the Drive-Chassis/Rear Axle Shaft & Hub system, plays a crucial role in securing the Rear Axle Shaft to the hub. When in operation, this nut reliably clamps the axle shaft, allowing the vehicle to transfer power from the engine to the wheels. Its unique design includes a wide flange at one end that acts as an integrated, non-spinning washer. This serves to distribute the pressure of the nut over the part being secured, reducing the chance of damage to both parts. Like any auto part, the Flange Nut (#9017822001) may need periodic replacement. A worn-out or damaged Flange Nut (#9017822001) can compromise the firmness of the axle shaft connection, potentially leading to vehicular instability. It's crucial to opt for genuine Toyota parts for compatibility and for the reassurance of Toyota's genuine parts warranty. By securing the axle shaft effectively, the Flange Nut (#9017822001) contributes to the vehicle's overall power transmission efficiency, driving performance, and safety.
