I may be wrong but all I know is that the wheel is now tight on the spline since I tightened the nut. I am going to check one of the old axles just to satisfy my own curiousity to see if it is a tapered spline. How else would they compensate for normal wear and tear unless you could take up the slack by tightening the nut on a tapered spline?
Edit: I checked the "inventory" and was surprised to see I have 4 of these axles that have been replaced over the years. And they do seem to be tapered in the spline as this picture should show.
