The Axiom Heavy Duty Jam Nut (SKU: AX0169551) is a hardened metal replacement jam nut for UTV suspension and steering components using 5/8" right-hand threaded rod ends, tie rods, and linkage hardware. Corrosion-resistant finish for harsh off-road environments. Sold individually.

Specifications

• Thread Size: 5/8" Right-Hand (RH)

Verified Fitment (OFAS Standard)

Universal fit — compatible with any UTV or off-road suspension/steering component using a 5/8" right-hand threaded jam nut. Confirm thread size and hand before ordering.

Does NOT fit: Left-hand (LH) threaded applications. Does not fit metric thread sizes. Confirm 5/8" thread diameter — do not substitute for 9/16" or 3/4" hardware.

Installation Notes

• Thread confirmation required: Verify thread size is 5/8" right-hand before ordering. Installing an incorrect thread size will damage the mating component.
• Torque specs: Torque jam nut to manufacturer specification for the specific rod end or tie rod being secured. Over-torquing will strip threads; under-torquing will allow loosening under vibration.
• Installation method: Thread jam nut onto rod end or tie rod shaft, adjust to desired length, then tighten jam nut against the component body to lock position. Use two wrenches — one to hold the rod end, one to tighten the jam nut.
• Inspection interval: Check jam nut torque after first off-road use and at regular service intervals. Vibration and impact loads can loosen hardware over time.

Installation Warning

Do not install on left-hand threaded components — forcing a right-hand nut onto a left-hand thread will strip both components. Confirm thread size and hand before installation. Once installed and torqued, inspect regularly — loose jam nuts allow steering and suspension geometry to shift, creating unsafe handling conditions.

What component are you replacing this jam nut on, and have you confirmed the thread size is 5/8" right-hand?
