Default Front Spindle (HUB) Nuts - Replacing

In my quest to iron out all of my cars little noises, clicks and buzzes i just purchased a set of spindle nuts. 4 of them. The rears were an easy fix and got rid of most of my clicking, but i still have an intermittent click from the front passenger side. I bought the spindle nuts for the front too, but (and i know this is going to sound really dense) i can't find where they are located on the front.

Has anyone done this on the front?

Being a RWD car the front doesn't have axle nuts. Check the wheel bearing.

It actually does have a "axle nut" on the front, it's just under a cover, on the inside of the knuckle.

The nut holds the front hubs through the wheels bearings.

Yes that's correct about the nut behind the dust cap (pry off). I meant it's not a nut for the half shafts (axles) like the rear. The nut probably isn't the source of the clicking though in the front. I think you'll have to pull the knuckle off the car to get to the nut.

Thanks for the info guys.
