Please help me!
in replacing my suspenson there are a couple of things that need replacing. one is the self-locking nut on the bottom of the fork on the front suspension, is a standard self-locking nut, or is it a nylock nut (the kind with a locking nylon insert)? i really need to know this asap, and also, can I get these from any hardware store ie Home depot, Lowes, ACE? looking at my factory service manual made me wonder these things. if it helps you, i'm looking at the factory service manual for 96-00 civics, on page '18-17' for damper removal, since they have the same suspension as my teg. thx guys! also just for info, specs on the self locking nut is 12mm x 1.25 thread pitch.

self locking nut??? are you talking about the nut on the ball joint on the bottom of the hub assembly??? if so no i would not use shitty hardware stuff... suspension stuff is SERIOUS!!! i would get OEM parts for that... i might have some extra nuts around here if you need...

talking about the nut and bolt that holds the fork to the LCA on the front. at the top of the fork, this bolt is a pincher bolt, and at the bottom, this a self-locking nut. btw...any honda service locations open today or tomorrow?
