Question 2020 axel nut

My spindle nut is staked. It’s collar is pinched into slots in the axel.
Neither Mopar nor Dormer seem to have that part. I ordered a few from Mopar today but got nuts that are fully threaded with no collar to pinch.
They are supposed to be one-use-only.

Has the staked system been replaced?

The 2014+ Cherokee forum is over at https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f87/. https://www.jeepcherokeeclub.com/ is much more active and you're likely to get a good answer over there.

I just pried out the stake and reused the nut when I did the hub on my 2014. I use a blunt chisel to restake afterwards.

If the nut you received is compatible in terms of dimensions and strength, you can use it safely.
