I need to replace the front shock cartridges and strut bearings. Did this many years ago and my local parts supplier is not longer in business. I can find all the parts I need online but unsure about getting the right self-locking nuts for the tie rod ends and connection to the control arms.
Does anyone have those part numbers or at least a thread spec to help me track down the right parts?
Thanks.
Using some blue thread lock has the same effect as a new self-locking nut, which are just slightly oval to help them grip tighter.
If you’re getting new parts they will often come with new nuts.

Thanks for the tip on the blue locktite. Will use that if I can't find any replacement nuts.
Since I am rebuilding the existing front struts, I don't think I'll get any of the lower nuts with the new parts, but who knows?
