    I took mine out to paint control arms and install new bushings and now I can't find them. Does anyone have or know where I can buy new. All parts stores I went to did not have correct ones. Thanks.

    Tom, I just bought new lower bolts and nuts from Ames.
    www.amesperf.com
    'Ground Up' also carries an amazing assortment of repo hardware.
    www.ss396.com
    Get their printed catalog!

    I believe those nuts are the self-locking type.....a 'distorted thread' style. Take a look at the McMaster-Carr site, in (where else!)the 'nut' section.

    Also

    www.opgi.com but I suspect the ones Walt's list are quicker, Ames is on the stick. Last time I checked GM carried those parts too in which case www.GMpartsdirect.com is a good place.

    oops....I thought you meant lower control arm bolts and nuts.....
    I now see you were asking about shock mount nuts.....
    Ground up does have the replacement style like Bill mentioned...
    Another great source fo auto hardware is:
    http://www.restorationspecialties.com/
    Open their catalog and look at the page for:
    Speed Nuts- U and J type....I think thats them!
