<p>A wheel nut and washer assembly (10) for securing a wheel to a motor vehicle axle. The wheel nut (12) includes a body having a longitudinal axis, the nut body also having an axial threaded aperture (16) and a pair of ends (22) being in the form of a smooth steel external surface. The wheel nut also includes a steel washer having an end terminating in a smooth annular (surface23) in surface-to-surface engagement with the body end thereby maintaining axially alignment of the body and washer enabling relative movement of said body and washer about said axis. A decorative cap (30) on the assembly is configured so that it holds the washer on the nut, with a gap between the cap (30) and washer to enable the washer to freely rotate and move laterally relative to the nut.</p> |
