XA-0403
Special Washer
SAF-Holland

A special-purpose washer used to distribute clamping load and provide spacing in brake or axle-housing assemblies. The item is designed to resist deformation under high bolt torques and to maintain precise bolt alignment, contributing to even load transfer and reduced risk of loosening due to vibration. VMRS 053-007-008 places the part with other locking, shimming, and load-distribution hardware that supports consistent assembly performance, while the category 42595 roots it in protective and hardware components associated with braking system installations. The absence of explicit dimensions in the data means installers should verify fit against OEM references or catalogs, but the washer’s geometry is typically compatible with standard fastener patterns found across heavy-duty axles, brackets, and mounting bosses. In field service, this washer helps ensure secure bracket connections, alignment of actuators or shields, and prolonged component life by reducing point-load concentrations. Fleet maintenance crews rely on reliable hardware for every-vehicle safety and uptime.
