Haven't a clue but it is a big nut and should not be hard to find its home.

Did you buy the car used? If so, I like others, believe it is an axlenut that was left in the car.

The car was together when I bought it. It is a hair too small to fit an axle. Plus I haven't removed them, just the front half, motor, and some interior.

It's a steel locknut so it didn't come off by itself.
