Correct Front Axle Hub Nut

[TbirdTC]

Other than the Ford Dealer, has anyone found a parts store that actually sells the correct front axle hub nut for 4WD 95-01 Explorers/Mountaineers? The closest I have found is the one from NAPA (BK 6301642) listed in this thread:

The original factory one has a free spinning washer which can affect result in a different load on the hub bearing when torquing the nut. Just curious if anyone has found another option.

It is 1 1/4 in terms of size. I use a 3/4 drive breaker bar, with a 1 1/4 SOCKET (12 pt) to remove my hubs as needed
