Curious if anyone knows where I can get a replacement nut for my upper control arm. The nylon lock washer broke when I removed it.
Do you think a replacement is needed? Or would red loctite be enough? I called GM and was told the part is discontinued. I went to a few places around here locally, but no one sells any that big with the lock washer.
I just completed my upper control arms and found that these are M20-2.5 steel nylon lock nuts. I purchased six of them, needed to go online since I could not find any local sources for these either.
I found a vendor on ebay that sells them at a reasonable price. Go to ebay and search for item #222388230672

That's awesome thanks! I could of sworn it looked like nylon lock nuts.

I found them at Fastenall, but had to buy them in a pack of 6 (or 8, not sure).
I always thought (for this application) the "nylon insert" in the nuts was more of a "sealing device" rather than a locking device due to the use of the dissimilar metals. The bushing/washer provide a seal for the base of the nut.
In very similar nutted (steel/steel) GM would have likely just specified a Prevailing Torque fastener.
