Default 350z axel problem

Ok this is the problem my axel nut on the passenger rear is coming loose this is the
3rd time the nut has come loose. i tighted it twice this last time it trashed the wheel bearing so to the dealer it went, i had to replace the wheel bearing and had the tsb done for the axel why it was out that was last week. Today i noticed it was showing signs of the nut coming loose again . I dont know what to do with it any ideas.

Take it back to the dealer and make them fix it. I haven't had any such problems with my Z (or any problems at all).

had a z33 do this a while back.. Ended up finding a big lock washer to put underneath axle nut.

sometimes the simplest things work the best... hope it does for you

that's what I was thinkin too...

should be better than trying to loctite it down... green loctite would work, but the lock washer would probably be the better option

what kind did you use?
the standard red or blue won't do it... you'd have to use green... purple might have worked...

Im going to go with the lockwasher idea. that is probably the best, as well as simplest.

use an impact gun to tighten down the nut, then put another nut on and tighten that one. thats what i used to do on all my 240s so they would never back out again.


double nut like whoah.
