false
Keep your trailer axle assembly secure with this EZ Lube axle tang washer retaining clip, designed to lock the spindle nut in place and prevent loosening during travel. This essential trailer axle component fits EZ Lube style spindles with a flat spot, ensuring proper alignment and reliable retention of the axle castle nut.
The washer features a 1" inside diameter with a distinctive “D” shaped profile, allowing it to fit snugly on the spindle while preventing rotation. An integrated locking tab engages the castle nut slots, holding the spindle nut firmly in position and providing an additional layer of safety for your trailer’s wheel assembly.
Manufactured from durable hardened steel, this tang washer is designed to withstand heavy-duty trailer use, helping maintain proper bearing preload while reducing the risk of axle nut loosening during towing.
This part is commonly used on Dexter EZ Lube trailer axles and similar trailer hub systems. Whether replacing a worn washer or servicing your trailer bearings, this component is a simple but critical part of maintaining safe trailer operation.
