FERM, (and FERM is it) he's probably talkin' about the pinion gear nut. They are usually self locking and adjustable to the needed spacing to avoid roar.
The usual way to reinstall to correct is to use a torque wrench to see how much it was to remove it and reinstall to same or count threads turned to replace to same location.
I failed at this attempt, mine roars between 58 and 63 mph.
Reason for noting original location is the gears have made a wear pattern, it's needed to get back to close where it was.

And how in the hell would any of this fail inspection??
