Does anyone know where i can get just the nuts for the Outer Control arm Pins?

I really do not want to spend the money for a complete kit of bushings and pins when all i need is the Nut

[ptwothree]

They are an Acme thread...but I don't know the size.

Zeke, curious why you need just the nuts as service packages for the upper & lower outer pins should come with new nuts...........addmitedly, many yrs ago the threaded hole on the outer lower A arm on one side of my car was stripped so I made a spare nut into a tapered countersunk circular "nut", removed the remains of the stripped thread in the A arm and used the pin to firmly lock the tapered nut into the A arm...........then welded it, the tapered nut into the arm..........been working fine since..........I would have a couple of nuts around here somewhere if need be but surely there is someone in the States who can give you a couple?.................let me know if you are stuck............andyd.

I've heard of giving up one's life for a friend, but nuts?  That's just nuts.  Andy, show me the corner; I have to go there.

[Andydodge]

Try Andy Bernbaums.........I'd be surprised if they didn't have some floating around..but if you get stuck then let me know...........andyd.

Old Bob Hope joke, or so I was told.  He asks one of the women on the tour to put her hand in his pocket.  She says, "Oh, I'd feel crazy."  He says, "Put your hand in further (farther?*) and you'll feel nuts".   

Maybe we all need our own corner.  

*Farther, a matter of distance;  further, a matter of degree.  Take your pick.

So Don............have you still got your Bob Hope mask?............lol.................sun shining, birds twittering in South Grafton, NSW Oz.............lol.....regards, andyd.
