lock nuts

Vibration-resistant hardware pieces

Lock nuts are nuts designed to resist loosening from vibration or torque.

Standard nuts can work free over time; lock nuts use various mechanisms to stay tight—nylon inserts, distorted threads, or serrated faces that grip the mating surface.

Make sure to use lock nuts on the wheel assembly.

Also called locknuts or locking nuts.
