Meritor Outer Cap Nut

For high-torque jobs that require a thread to stay put, the Meritor Outer Cap Nut checks the box. Often found on truck wheel assemblies, this nut works in tandem with hub or axle caps to help retain the structure of the wheel end hardware. Unlike general-purpose nuts, the Meritor E5977L provides depth and stability on extended threaded studs, reducing unwanted movement and premature thread wear.
