you are thinking of a mercedes benz front wheel bearing securing nut. it's a slick set up ....it's a 'clamp nut' .. there's an allen screw that you tighten ..that clamps the nut, in any spot, onto the spindle threads. I'm not sure the Benz thread is the same . but I could easily take the one off my benz-based 'wheel balancer' thing ..to see if it fits a vanagon spindle. if these fit a vanagon correctly .. it would be 'the way' for sure. scott turbovans ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edward Maglott" <emaglott3@GMAIL.COM> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Sunday, March 20, 2011 3:38 PM Subject: fancy front wheel bearing nut with clamp
