Reuse or replace strut top lock nut?

Did everybody replace their strut top lock nuts with new ones, or just reuse the old ones? Looks like the 4306 hardware kit from Pedders includes them, but I did not get them with my hardware from Kollar.

They're BCs. They came with 2 24mm nuts, but I believe those are the ones that go atop the poly mounts and hold the assembly together.

Great, thanks. Like I said, the BCs only come with 2 nuts, and they are not the top lock nuts. That said, I'll reuse the factory top nuts.

Blue loc-tite on them, or leave it out?

If you purchased Lovells struts, they are on the struts. If you ordered a no rub kit they are in the bag with the strut bolts, 2 silver nylock nuts. These nuts should replaced when you do the struts

Thanks Andy. I ordered front BCs, poly strut mounts, strut bolts, and a couple of parts for the rear from you. There are no nylock nuts in the bag with the strut bolts. The BCs came with 2 24mm nuts, but they are not lock nuts.
