I've refurbished my trailing arms/bearing and the schnorr washers are pretty worn and I don't think they should be reused. Any reason I can't use common lock washers here?

Correct, schnorr washers are one time only. Amazon, belmetric, etc.

Rare in part because everyone wants to buy something called a Schnorr washer, or anything else called Schnorr. Rolls off the tongue. Apologies and admiration to any members with the name.
