Self-Locking Hex Nut

About this product

The Self-Locking Hex Nut (#90118WA463), a crucial component in the Body/Hood Lock & Hinge system of Toyota vehicles, plays a vital role in securing the hood of the vehicle. This hexagonal nut is designed to fasten and secure parts, resisting loosening under vibrations and torque. Incorporating a locking mechanism, the nut maintains its grip, ensuring the hood stays firmly in place during vehicle operation. Over time, the Self-Locking Hex Nut (#90118WA463) may wear out or become compromised, risking the secure fastening of the hood. It's therefore essential to replace it periodically with a genuine Toyota part, which ensures perfect compatibility and is backed by Toyota's genuine parts warranty. The regular replacement and proper functioning of this auto part significantly contribute to the safety and efficiency of the vehicle, by keeping the hood securely locked and preventing any unexpected opening while driving.
