An axle nut (also called a drive shaft nut, hub nut, or stub axle nut) is a critical fastener that secures the front drive axle (CV shaft) to the wheel hub assembly on a vehicle. It effectively keeps the drive shaft properly seated and prevents it from sliding out while driving.

In front‑wheel‑drive cars like many Škoda models (Fabia, Rapid, Octavia, etc.), the front axle nut ensures the CV axle and bearing assembly stay reliably connected during power transfer from the transmission to the wheels. This component is not the same as a wheel nut/lug nut — it sits deep inside behind the hub, and is not removed during ordinary wheel changes. 

Product Details:

An axle nut (also called a hub nut, stub axle nut, or drive shaft nut) is a heavy‑duty fastener that secures the axle shaft to the wheel hub assembly.
It’s a critical drivetrain component, different from the wheel lug nuts that hold the wheels on. Instead, the axle nut holds the drive shaft (CV axle) inside the hub/bearing so the wheels receive power from the transmission without coming loose.

• On a Renault/Nissan Duster, the front axle nut is fitted at the end of the front drive shaft — right inside the wheel hub.

• When you remove wheels, brakes, or bearings during repairs, this nut must be removed to take out the axle or hub.

• After servicing, it must be torqued correctly to maintain hub and bearing stability.

Most Duster front axle nuts thread onto a CV axle shaft and clamp the hub/bearing assembly tightly so that:
✔ The axle doesn’t slide out under load
✔ The bearing preload is correct
✔ The wheel hub spins smoothly without excess play

This is important for safety and drivetrain life.

Product Details:

An axle nut (also called a hub nut, CV axle nut or drive shaft nut) is a heavy‑duty fastener that holds the front drive shaft (CV axle) securely to the wheel hub assembly.
It doesn’t hold the wheel on (that’s done by wheel lug nuts) — instead, it anchors the driven axle into the hub, ensuring the drivetrain transfers power smoothly from the engine to the wheel.

✔ Secures the front CV axle to the wheel hub
✔ Maintains correct wheel bearing preload
✔ Prevents axle movement under load
✔ Supports torque transfer from the transmission to the road

Product Details:

An axle nut (also called a hub nut or CV axle nut) is a heavy‑duty fastener that secures the drive shaft (CV axle) to the wheel hub assembly. It is part of the drivetrain, not the same as wheel lug nuts that hold your wheels on.

🔩 Function:

• Holds the front CV axle into the wheel hub so torque from the engine is transferred to the wheel.

• Maintains bearing preload in the hub — too loose leads to play and vibration, too tight damages bearings.

• Usually installed with a torque‑wrench to a specific torque value.

• The Hyundai Santro is a front‑wheel‑drive vehicle, so it has front axle nuts on each CV axle.

• These nuts secure the drive shafts into the hubs on both the left and right front wheels.

• Exact nut size (socket size and thread pitch) varies by model year and axle design, but these nuts are robust and usually require deep socket tools and high torque.

• Always install a new axle nut after removal — many are designed to be single‑use or require staking after installation.

• The axle nut must be tightened to the manufacturer’s torque specification to avoid bearing damage or axle play. (Santro specific torque data isn’t widely published online — for exact specs use a workshop/service manual.)
