I feel stupid for asking but I really dont want to buy the wrong part and have to send I back. Again..
So I'm looking at replacing all the small hardware parts in the brakes and I figured I'd go ahead and replace the wheel bearings and put a new spindle nut kit on there too there only like 5 bucks. Here lies the problem. There are two of them listed which one is the right one they have the same thread but one says .37 and the other one dont thats the only difference i see. My car is a 75 dart large bolt disk brake car. Thanks

Looks like the thread diameter and pitch are the same.
Thickness of the nut is where you are getting thrown off.
.37 vs 3/8 (.375) no difference.
Over thinking a 5 dollar part.
 
Ahhhhhh ok that makes sence!! I had no idea that .37 was the thickness. Thank you for the help. Why is that even a option? Why the company make two different parts two different part numbers for a
.005 nut thickness?
 
Order both and measure. They will be the same. Some just shorten up the decimal points. Its a metric thing to go only 2 points.

It’s the tolerance during manufacturing. Some companies simply have a tighter tolerance, but for most companies it falls betweeen .003-.005. So if the specs call for a .375 thick part, you might get one .37 or you might get one .378 , but that little of a tolerance difference isn’t gonna make a difference
