I've been all over town, trying to find new nylon locking nuts for the control arms to do my wife's car. The out ball joints are M12 x 1.5, and the inner ones are M14 x 1.5. Lowe's had them in M12, but only in 1.75, same with the M14's. Every hardware store I've checked doesn't carry them. Where do I get them?

Nuts!
Look in the yellow pages for "fasteners" or "bolts" There's usually a nut and bolt supplier in any fair sized town. The other places like Lowe's or auto parts stores are hit and miss.

They're less than 10k old, they're from Jordan's car, and I got them for free.Originally posted by e30sd
They're going on my wife's E30 so we can sell it. I'm not shelling out $150 for new arms just to get new locking nuts.
Besides, I know that BMA carries them, I was hoping to find them locally so I wouldn't have to call, order, and wait 3-4 days to get them. My plan was to fix it this weekend.Comment
