Axle Key Washer for the hub nut locking system in the axle assembly.

This tab washer seats beneath the axle hub nut, with tabs that locate into machined slots or fold over the nut flat once the correct torque is set. The washer prevents the hub nut from backing off under driving loads, maintaining correct wheel bearing preload. It should be replaced with a new washer each time the hub nut is removed and retorqued.

Frequently asked questions

What does the 217352 Axle Key Washer do?

This tab washer seats beneath the axle hub nut. Its tabs fold over the nut flat once the correct torque is set, preventing the hub nut from backing off under driving loads and maintaining correct wheel bearing preload.

Can the Axle Key Washer be reused after removing the hub nut?

No. Replace with a new washer every time the hub nut is removed and retorqued. A previously folded tab can't be re-locked reliably, and a loose hub nut puts the wheel bearing and hub assembly at risk.

Does this washer fit all Defenders, or only early models?

Fits Defender 1983-2006 up to VIN KA930455 only. Later Defenders use a different retention system. Also fits all Series I, II, IIA and III, and Range Rover Classic up to 1994 (see fitment note for ABS-variant VIN breaks on the Classic).
