Question about 4x4 auto locking hubs

I am posting this to hopefully get an answer to a question I have. First some info I have a 1994 f150 4x4 with factory auto hubs and I'm doing a rebuild on the front dana 44 axle new ball joints tie rods axle u joints etc my question is this. I'm putting the drivers side hub back together and I found out my inner locknut tab is broke off. The tab that holds the washer in place. I am asking because the locknut is good other then the tab being broken. So if I use it without the tab and the washer as is how will it effect the 4x4 and hub. I don't want to take it apart again if I can. Sorry if this seems long winded but I'm not the greatest or most concise writer. Thanks for any help.
