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.



Yes, please show us pictures of these "slotted" and "castellated" nuts,
and explain the difference between a "castellated" and a "castle" nut, if
you would be so kind. :-)

Thanks!
