Sorry guys, still confused and want to get it right. Read through pages and still not quite sure.
The trailing arm nuts have a lip on them, and per PET (4) are required.  It makes sense that this lip inserts into the trailing arm mount and the link bearing. However, mine will not fit. Initially I thought that my nuts were squished (ouch!) and the lip was deformed. But after filing a little bit away, they still will not fit. Also per the PET, a washer goes on the mounting ear side. If a washer goes there, the nut lip wont insert into the mounting ear. If the washer is on the inside, the knurled side of the bushing rod wont seat against the mounting ear.  After much searching, I may have found new nuts, so I have ordered (4). Interestingly enough, AA sells repos without the lip. So is this lip really important? Is it only for the outboard side?
