K-Member washer? Where can I find a replacement washer for this bolt? It is a bolt that attaches the k-member to the sub frame (I think).
I recently ran my camaro into a curb. The result was a broken axle and bent front knucle. When I was under the car, I noticed it looked like this washer/bolt had moved? I took the washer off and realized it was stripped. It's a weird washer (special locking washer maybe?). I went to the dealership and they weren't very helpful. From what they could find, everything in that area was discontinued...

It looks like a locking washer that can only be used once. Correct me if I am wrong. I have tried hardware stores and can't really seem to find anything similar. It looks like a funky locking washer with internal teeth.

If that's the case, I reckon I could just keep using this washer? Are these bolts adjustable by any chance? What I mean is, this shouldn't effect my alignment at all would it?

Awesome, thanks. That's the main thing I was worried about. I guess I'll just find a standard locking washer for it to play it safe. Hopefully that's all that is messed up and the k-member isn't bent or anything.
