Dana 44 Spindle Nut Kit | 78-79 Ford Bronco

Ensure your front hubs stay securely in place with this OEM-quality Spindle Nut Kit for 1978-79 Ford Broncos with factory Dana 44 front end. Spindle nuts play a critical role in securing the wheel bearings and maintaining proper preload, preventing unwanted movement that can lead to premature wear or failure. This kit includes the two spindle nuts and lock ring required to secure one wheel hub. 

Using High-Quality Spindle Nuts on your Full-Size Bronco is critical because they play a vital role in securing the front hub assembly and maintaining the correct preload on the wheel bearings. Here are a few reasons why you shouldn’t cut corners on this small but essential component:

• Keeps Your Wheel Bearings Secure - Spindle nuts are responsible for holding the wheel bearings in place. Inferior-quality nuts can loosen over time, leading to excessive play in the bearings, premature wear, and potential failure.

• Prevents Hub Assembly Damage - A loose or improperly secured hub can cause severe damage to your spindle, rotor, and bearings. High-quality spindle nuts maintain proper torque and prevent these costly failures.

• Ensures Smooth & Safe Operation - Low-quality spindle nuts may strip, deform, or fail under stress, causing dangerous steering instability. OEM-quality or better spindle nuts ensure your front wheels stay secure, even in off-road conditions.

• Prevents Premature Wear & Costly Repairs - A failing spindle nut can allow excessive movement, leading to bearing failure, uneven tire wear, and even catastrophic hub failure. Investing in quality spindle nuts means fewer breakdowns and repairs down the road.

In short, don’t gamble on cheap spindle nuts—they’re the only thing keeping your front hubs tight, your bearings safe, and your Bronco rolling strong!
