self locking nuts
Guys, need some general comments from you. Are the self locking nuts reusable in general?
I got all the parts ready for my shocks replacement but according to the WIS instructions, the self locking nuts are to be replaced after each use. Checked with dealer and their mark up is 200%, the list price of $1.00 they want >$3 for a nut, I think that's nuts. Anyhow, those of you who replaced the shocks, did you just recycle the self locking nuts? |

I'd replace any nuts that were real corroded or if they seemed like they went on really loose. |
I think the main reason MB wants us to replace nuts and bolts is that most of them have loctite pre-applyed on the thread, and it is one time use.
As Ron said, I use blue loctite and reuse hardware if the new is not included with the replacement part. Reg. Mike |

If you try the old ones and they go on tight, in other words they go on by hand until you get to the oval part and then you have to use a wrench they are probably ok to reuse, that's what I do. But if they go on loosely thru the oval part of the nut without having to use a wrench they need to be replaced. |
