What It Helps Solve

• Missing spindle nut, washer, or cotter pin during brake or hub service
• Worn or damaged original spindle lock hardware
• Incorrect thread size during reassembly
• Loose or incomplete spindle hardware after maintenance
• Need for a replacement part matched to listed Subaru Standard fitments

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle position and thread size before installation. Because this is one-time-use hardware, replace the existing spindle lock components rather than reusing them. Verify the application against the listed Subaru Standard front and rear fitments before service, and follow the vehicle service procedure for proper torque and retention.
