The official size of the rear axle nut for a 2002 Ford Explorer is 35mm, according to Ford. This nut is crucial for attaching the hub to the axle and securing various components like brake rotors. If the axle nut becomes loose, it can lead to bearings shifting within the housing over time, causing potential damage. Therefore, it is recommended to have the nut properly tightened. Even if the axle nut appears undamaged, threads may have been compromised during removal. To prevent costly repairs down the line, it is best to replace the axle nut with a new one as per the manufacturer's guidelines.
