What is the purpose of a differential adjuster lock nut?

The adjuster lock nut holds the side adjuster in place within the differential housing. This ensures the correct gear mesh between the ring and pinion gears is maintained, preventing them from shifting and causing damage.

Does this lock nut come with the side adjuster itself?

No, this part is just the left-hand adjuster lock nut. The side adjuster, which it locks in place, is a separate component and is not included with this part number.

What does 'left-hand thread' mean for this lock nut?

A left-hand thread means you turn the nut counter-clockwise to tighten it and clockwise to loosen it. This is important for differential adjusters to prevent them from backing out under normal operation.
