Spindle lock nut?
#1

It's the nut that goes around the front axle shaft that holds the hub into the steering knuckle. I talked to a guy at Ford, and my very mechanically inclined uncle and they both suggested just using blue loc-tite. Apparently the reason it's a "one-time use" nut is that it has some sort of indention on it that makes so it will never back out on its own. When you pull it off, however, it messes up that indention. Loc-tite solves the problem of no more indentation.
