Nut reuse

Well I received the roush kit, but I only received 2 out of the 4 locking nuts (hole in the box). Can I re-use the factory ones? Where can I get some more besides roush?

These are for the sway bar end links to the strut assembly, correct?

You should be able to re-use the old nuts. Make sure the teflon in the nut is not tore up so that it stays put.

What are the nuts for, correct??
Reuse the factory ones with some blue loctite.
Or contact Roush or the Vendor for replacemnts.

If they wont hold the recommended ft/lbs of TQ then get factory replacements.....technically they were designed to be single use fasteners....but many reuse with the above suggestions

+1 aslong as they pass a visual inspection and will take the TQ do it!
use blue locktight if your worried about it.
if your really worried about it go to a fastener shop and they will have it for sure... we have 2 in edmonton but your not from here so sorry no help there.
