Abstract
A seal nut assembly includes a locking member, a bearing member, and a resilient member. The locking member defines a threaded aperture. The bearing member has an inner annular portion and an outer annular portion which radially circumscribes the inner annular portion. The inner annular portion comprises a first lower surface and defines an opening. The outer annular portion comprises a second lower surface which is stepped with respect to the first lower surface. The bearing member is disposed adjacent to the locking member such that the opening is aligned with the threaded aperture. The resilient member is attached to the second lower surface of the bearing member adjacent to the outer perimeter. A vehicle including a seal nut assembly and a method of manufacturing a seal nut assembly are also provided.
