Default Question regardless replacing lower suspension bushes.

I've bought powerflex bushes and mugen compliance bushes to replace the lower arms only.

None of my bushes are seized, can I use the existing bolts and nuts?

If nuts are nyloc I can just buy new nuts?

Thanks

They are Specials,
have a deep area on them like the rears,
could re-use them if they look ok, just clean threads well with wire brush before removing.

I've got the numbers thanks. I don't thank that answers my question can they definitely be reused or are they nyloc or other locking mechanism?

Thanks

Can be re-used, would be a pain if every time you had an alignment you had to change the nuts!

Nyloc"s type of fastener but with a recess on nut,
they are not a normal of the shelf nut.

I wouldn't be surprised if you were supposed to change the nuts once they have been removed? I plan on lock wiring mine for piece of mind....also subframe bolts as some of mine were finger tight when I removed my subframes.
