Jet Nuts have a reduced hex area and a flange on the nut ....the nut is elliptical so the locking action is completely around all of the threads, not just a piece of plastic stuck in the top of the nut.
On the rear Axles, their is enough vibration that the torque on the halfshafts bolts will come loose after one session on the track....many times when we come off the track we had to check & re-torque these bolts after every session.
Jet Nuts reduced the amount of times that the torque was reduced and we could go many sessions....we still checked the torque but it was good.
