Thanks for Pinion nut advise

From : nick c topolos

Q: thanks to all for the good advise about my loose pinion nut. i bought a new nut yesterday at the dealer and my neighbor and i replaced it today. the new nut is combined with the washer and has blue locktight allready on the threads. it was about $8.50. i hope i caught it in time. it needed a couple of inches of gear lube and now runs quietly. i did check inside the housing with a magnet and all it looked fine. nick .

the new nut is combined with the washer and has blue locktight allready on the threads. it was about $8.50. dont you just hate these expensive fixes thank you too for posting the resolution. too many times we never hear back from people as to their outcome - which really sucks because it deprives others who may have similar problems of info. that could help them as well. .
