Overview
The Currie CE-9112JN is a 3/4-16 right hand thread jam nut, part number CE-9112JN, made for Currie CE-9112SP Johnny Joints that have treaded shanks. A jam nut tightens against a rod end or joint to hold an adjustment in place. It also suits any other application that calls for a 3/4 inch jam nut.
Key features
- Right hand thread in 3/4 inch -16 size
- Designed for Currie CE-9112SP Johnny Joints with treaded shanks
- Suitable for other 3/4 inch jam nut applications
- Gold zinc plated finish
Using a jam nut correctly
A jam nut is a thin locking nut tightened against a main nut or a threaded joint, holding the adjustment where you set it. On suspension and steering links, the jam nut keeps a rod end or joint from turning once the length is dialed in, which prevents the link from changing setup under vibration. Tighten it firmly with a wrench while holding the joint steady so the adjustment does not shift.
Jam nuts are often replaced when threads show damage or when the zinc plating has worn away and the nut begins to rust. Clean the threads of dirt and corrosion before installing, and use a fresh nut rather than reusing one that has been over-torqued, since a stretched nut may not hold reliably.
- Check thread pitch on both parts before threading
- Replace a jam nut that is cracked or rounded at the corners
- Keep a spare on hand for trail repairs
- Apply anti-seize where the joint allows it
