hmm not sure its the hub nut i gave you - i think it was the correct size - i think steve said it was one of the nuts already fitted to the back was different size across flats (a/f) - an additional problem was on the front driveshafts there was a difference on how much thread was visible on the end of the driveshaft spline once the nuts were fitted - the one one the drivers side was flush with end of the spline when tightened up but on the passenger side one it wasnt flush and was 2 to 3 threads still showing on the top of the nut - we thought this might be something to do with fact that the driveshaft on the passenger side has been replaced as it has abs rings - i was wondering if it might be off a 5th gen as there is a few mm difference in length so ive heard.
I have also noticed in the past that some non oem hub nuts have a higher collar on them :?
