Reusing suspension linkage nuts?

I am about to replace my rear shock on a pointy I was told that the nuts on the shock and links are one use locking nuts is this true and do I need to get new ones or just reuse them with thread lock?

For the sake of a few quid, why not just buy some new ones?

Was thinking the same but I am tight so did not want to waste money

I reuse just about everything, but then I've been doing this a while and feel pretty confident in assessing components for wear.

If you are unsure, the safest course of action is to replace all items when working on them if recomended.
However, that does tend to add up and in a lot of cases you'd be every bit as safe with the old component.

Clear as mud?

re use away.
only bolts not to reuse are tension or stretch bolts on cylinder heads and such like.

bog standard nyloc nuts from memory which are fine for reuse a few times before new are need, think about how many billions of bolts a garage would have to a. buy and b. chuck if all bolts were single use on things like suspension.

I'd be quite happy to re-use them provided they're torqued up to the right level. Invest in a torque wrench if you don't have one - It will make you happy

torque wrenches are nice *click click*
