I installed axle from Matco. The axle assembly is designed to allow rigid column support of a fork type nose landing gear yoke. The locking axle nut allows bearing preload torque to be applied separately so that deflection effects of the nose gear fork to not introduce oscillating bearing preloads. The 2 inch diameter flange has a 0.25 inch tapped hole for restraining rotation of the axle assembly in the landing gear fork.
