Genuine Nissan Power Steering Pump Adjuster Bolt Lock Nut GQ Y60 TB42 - Nissan Patrol Y60 GQ 1987-1997

This is a genuine New Old Stock (NOS) Nissan power steering pump adjuster bolt lock nut, designed specifically for the Nissan Patrol GQ Y60 fitted with the TB42 petrol engine. Located on the power steering pump's mounting bracket, this essential component secures the adjuster bolt in place after the correct drive belt tension has been set, ensuring reliable steering performance.

Replacement is typically required if the original lock nut is lost during a repair, or if its threads have become stripped, damaged, or severely rusted. A missing or faulty lock nut will allow the power steering belt to loosen, leading to a loud squealing noise from the engine bay and a reduction or complete loss of power steering assist, making the vehicle difficult to handle.

Product Features

• Genuine Nissan NOS Part: As a New Old Stock item, this nut guarantees it meets original factory specifications for material strength, thread pitch, and durability. Using a generic nut risks incorrect fitment or material failure, leading to a sudden loss of power steering.
• Prevents Belt Loosening: Correctly secures the power steering pump adjuster, maintaining proper belt tension to prevent slippage, squealing, and loss of steering assistance.
• Direct-Fit Replacement: Engineered for a straightforward installation. While suitable for a DIY mechanic with basic hand tools, access to the adjuster assembly can sometimes be limited by other engine accessories.
• Maintenance Recommendation: When replacing this nut, it is a good opportunity to inspect the adjuster bolt and the power steering drive belt for wear and consider replacing them as well.
