one-time use nuts?
Getting an alignment right now after bmr trailing arms and toe links. Mechanic said there are some "chemically encapsulated" one-time use nuts that should have been replaced, but weren't. Anyone know what the deal is? Should I worry?

 I know the differential uses torque to yield bolts that you replace after you take them out.

This may help some. Every torque spec with a 2nd tightening recommendation is a torque to yield bolt and should be used once. Loctite is your friend!!
