VOE191179 Volvo Construction LOCK WASHER

This little washer’s job is pretty straightforward—it keeps things tight. Specifically, it secures the wheel hub nut. It’s designed to bite into both the nut and the axle, creating friction. It doesn’t really do a lot, but what it does, it does well. Think of it as a crucial piece in keeping your wheel firmly attached. The wheel hub assembly is what the wheel actually bolts to, and that big nut holds everything together. The lock washer sits right under that nut. Without it, the nut could loosen over time from vibrations while you drive. It's part of the whole system that lets your wheels turn smoothly and safely. You’ll find them on a lot of vehicles, especially older ones and trucks. Some newer cars use different designs, but the principle is often the same—something to prevent loosening. It’s important because a loose wheel is obviously a big problem. The lock washer acts like a shield against that. It’s a small, inexpensive part, but it can prevent a serious safety issue. You’ll notice if a wheel is coming loose pretty quickly – usually vibrations and strange noises. Replacing a lock washer is a lot cheaper and easier than dealing with a wheel coming off. You can find these pretty easily; Fixparts Online carries a good selection of them, and they’re usually fairly inexpensive. It’s a good idea to replace it whenever you’re doing work on the wheel hubs or replacing the wheel bearings. Affordable and reliable: Lock Washer (MPN VOE191179) has a 12-month warranty!
