i just replaced my ball joints on my 95 f150 with automatic locking hubs. and when i was taking it apart i found the passenger side spindle nut clip was broken. i went to a dealer and they said the only way to get that clip is to buy a spindle nut kit for $100. so i went to the two local salvage yards and they had been picked clean. i've also had no luck finding them online. i found that a manual hub conversion is cheeper than the spindle nut kit. so my questions are 1) does anyone know where i could find this clip 2) if i cant get this will a manual hub conversion replace the spindle nut

thanks,
diablo

 

Are you talking about the C-clip that keep the axle shaft from moving inward. or the washer like thing that goes between the two spindle nuts?
Do a search for axle shaft you may find some of the pix I posted of axle shaft replacement. Or take a picture of your broken clip.

 

Go to a place that specializes in drivetrain parts. I've had to get a few things for my 4x4 Chevy axle, I went to a local place called Advanced Drivelines.
