Upper control arm stud nut?
Do I have to use the oval type locking nuts on the control arm studs, or would a regular nut and lock washer work fine? I was having trouble with the studs spinning in place rather than locking, and it seems to me that those oval type nuts require a lot of torque just to even get them on, never mind torque them down.
BTW, for those following my last few posts, I do have the control arms on properly, and I bit the bullet at $4 a pop from GM for new upper control arm studs and they lock in place just fine.
