This groove nut locks the ball joint securely into the front wishbone, maintaining correct alignment and preventing movement under cornering loads and braking forces. Its machined groove design allows for proper engagement with a locking ring or pin, ensuring long-term stability and safety.

With age, the original groove nut may corrode, lose thread integrity, or deform during removal. Using a worn or non-spec nut can lead to incorrect torque, potential loosening, or suspension play.

Replace when:
• Replacing the front ball joints or wishbone assemblies
• The threads are damaged, corroded, or rounded
• Performing a front suspension rebuild or alignment correction

Installing a fresh groove nut ensures proper torque retention, precise alignment, and dependable suspension performance.
