Size: M14 x 1.5
Design: Self-locking hexagon flange/collar design. The built-in flange acts as an integrated washer to distribute clamping pressure, while the self-locking feature prevents the nut from backing off due to road vibrations and heavy steering forces.
This hardware is highly versatile and is utilized across several high-load connections in Audi steering and front/rear suspension assemblies.
Steering Tie Rod Ends: Connecting the outer tie rod to the wheel knuckle.
Control Arm Ball Joints: Securing both upper or lower suspension control arms into the wheel spindle/knuckle.
Important Installation Note
One-Time Use Only: Official Audi service manuals state that this part cannot be reused or reinstalled.
Because it is a self-locking nut, the locking mechanism deforms upon initial torque to form a secure grip. Once removed, it loses its prevailing torque capability and must be replaced with a new nut to prevent the hardware from backing out during operation.
