The Oshkosh 7/8"-14 Grade 8 Hex High Nut (also known as a deep nut or frame locknut) is a heavy-duty fastener designed for axle and suspension systems on front discharge mixers. It is specifically used to secure the U-bolts on the front steer axle leaf spring assembly, requiring four nuts per spring to maintain proper clamping force. Manufactured to Grade 8 specifications, this high nut provides exceptional torque capacity and extended thread engagement to withstand the extreme loads and vibrations of concrete mixer operation. Replacing worn or stripped suspension nuts during routine maintenance or spring replacement is essential to maintain axle alignment and ensure safe vehicle handling.
