Hi all.
Over kill, but want to make sure.
Am replacing upper control arm bushings.
Nut on driver side shaft was tortured by PO. Was able to save threads
on shaft, ("whew") with another nut having cleaner threads,
penetrating oil, careful back/forth.
I don't know if it's the same grade. Nut likely came off a Vanagon
(from ?) Stamps are hard to see.
Does the nut grade matter much in this application? I suspect not,
but double checking.
Thanks,
Neil.
