Z28 Axle Nut Install
I have a 2011 SS and upgraded the Wheel Bearing Assembly and Axles to the Z28 parts. So, I figured I would order the Z28 Axle Nut (part number 11611234) as well. While installing it, I noticed that it’s definitely different than the SS part.
Do I need to somehow indent the nut where the grooves are on the axle after torquing it down? If so, how is this done? Thanks!

After torqued to spec just take a punch and dimple the Metal into the groove, You can see above the threads of the nut there is a ring of flat metal.

Yeah they are Different, Mine only have the 1 spot, Not sure about the Z/28 but I believe I see 2 in the picture above. Now you have me thinking, I am installing Brake lines sometime this week, I will double check my SS Axles.

Thanks for posting this. I have had z/28 axles and wheel hubs for maybe two years. Took diff out a few weeks ago to have eaton locker installed. Ordered two new axle nuts for my SS, forgot I needed these nuts. I appreciate the post because I was just trying to look up part number for these
