The cone washer is used to apply a fuck ton of clamping pressure on the axle, because of the slop having 1 unit of force against the hanger face will have more than 1 unit of force applied radially around the axle, it’s just that friction that prevents the core from rotating
There used to be a serrated washer that would bite into the hanger to prevent rotating but it doesn’t really help so they don’t tell us to use it anymore
Awwww balls. I hope they do right by you and replace the damn thing. I know it said no warranty for mine but they also said they were tested and in good working condition.
The smallest I could find compared to the actual size. Hoping that the extra length won’t affect anything (Never pulled off the motor liner or cover, so idk what’s down there) but I have some lock and flat washers to take up the extra space if it fouls.
I’m kinda torn, on the one hand the first is how Loaded intended it to be, it’s a lot neater, and this gives a lot of slack for the motor wires to move in turns; but on the other hand that was supposed to be for RKP trucks not narrow TKP so it’s a lot more stress on the wires than their should be, the plastic connector feels like junk and since it’s the old school pattern I only get 1 proper hole to hold it, and it makes it more obvious it’s electric which I wanna avoid
