Suspension Rebuild - Where to get new locknuts

[Honus]

I am replacing the bushings and ball joints on my 1985 300D. New locknuts came with some, but not all, of the new pieces. For example, I need to get locknuts for the excentric bolts that hold the lower control arms to the frame. There is a hardware store near me that carries the right size nut, but I don't know the quality of their nuts. Where do I go to get nuts that I know are good for this application?

i dont see why you couldnt use red locktite.

If you live in CT their is a store here called the "Nuty Company" They seem to have every nut and bolt ever made in the world!

Get them from the dealer, sure you will pay a little more but for the amount of time it takes you to find them.

Hey,
If your worried about quality get grade 5 or grade 8. Both available at Ace Hardware.
Stainless will do just as good. Just don't use regular zinc coated or galvanized hardware.
