Uh, NO? Unless you have converted to roller bearings and ditched the
spacer, you are supposed to torque that spindle nut to 36 lb-ft for
disk brakes, 55 to 65lb-ft for front drums. If the end float is wrong,
it can be tweaked by "adjusting" the length of the spacer. Not having
the nut correctly torqued down could lead to some significant problems
IMHO.
