One use nuts?
What is with the "one use nuts"?
Just put an stb on my car and torqued to 26 ft/lb.
Checked the manual to verify torque spec and it says that W520112 (the strut mount nut) is one use.
If it's an issue, which it probably not, why don't the mfgr of struts, stbs etc include these with the parts?

A lot of the fasteners the automakers are using these days come with loc-tite already applied. Using them more than once reduces the effect of the loc-tite. So if you apply your own loc-tite you're fine. Now some bolts are stretch to yield and those really should be used once. But those are rare like connecting rod bolts.
