5/16-24
I need some axle lock nuts and found these on the web:
1. 5/16-18 NYLON LOCK NUT
WRENCH: 1/2" - HEIGHT: 11/32"
2. 5/16-24 NYLON LOCK NUT
WRENCH: 1/2" - HEIGHT: 11/32"
Does anyone know for certain which of these two different specs is used for truck axles? Is it 5/16-18 or 5/16-24?
And in case someone asks, I've learned that special 8mm axles are still milled with the standard 5/16th threading. It's mixed and matched so the specialty axles still use the standard nuts.
