583 Not to start a pi**in' contest, but the correct term is "Castellated"
nut, although commonly called castle nut. Most familiar use is in the front
suspension & steering of cars/trucks to insure nothing vibrates loose.






Sorry, not true. You have the name right but the usage wrong. Slotted
nuts are used on truck and automotive spindles, not Castellated nuts.
There is a difference.

I suggest you consult a dictionary for the meaning of castellated,
a hint, it has nothing to do with truck & automotive spindles.

Didn't I post that??



No, you posted something about "slotted" nuts which was
entirely irrelevant.



How's that?? The previous poster said that castellated nuts were used
in automotive applications, steering and suspension. I said they are
not ( similar to what you posted.) I said slotted nuts are mostly used
in automotive applications. Spindles are part of automotive steering
and suspension. Slotted nuts and castellated nuts are two different
types of nuts. What part of that doesn't make sense to you?? Let me
know and I'll explain it to you with pictures so you don't make the same
mistake in the future.
