Exactly......and without that centrifigal force on the drivers side will loosen the nut.....on the other side the fors is turning the other direction so it does not come loose. Once that nut loosens your bearings no longer have a preload on them and the will can run hot or finally just desinigrateQuote:

I can't believe that didn't have a way to lock the nut does that spindle have a groove cut down one side. If it does that is part of your locking mechanism
The spindle does have the flat side to it. That's where the "D" shaped locking washer with the bendable ears should have been on there between the flat washer and the nut. There was none on the drivers side where the bearing busted. There was one on the other side, but the ears that hold the nut weren't bent down.
It still makes me wonder why I busted the outer bearing the same way 3 yrs ago on the same spindle. If I remember right, there was a castle nut and cotter pin holding the nut that time.
Double the peace of mind too!Quote:
