You just have to get JDM endlinks, cause they always tight.
I've only had mine back off once in the past 3 years, and i know i didn't tighten them much cause i was playing with the setting.

typical M10 would be M10x1.5 or 1.75...
so you would have to check the threading and source prevailing torque lock nuts.........
I would also like to mention guys, that even though "I" call them here prevailing torque lock nuts, its not a standard name, though i have seen it used many times...........some companies sell them as many different names, so you have to call around and explain what your looking for..........some call them "TOP lock nuts"

I took the wheels off and checked them today. To my surprise they were both still really tight. I don't have time today to source the clunking I hear on large bumps, so it will have to be another day.

I went to Ace to find prevailing nuts. They had the 10mm nuts like Jason mentioned, but I could tell those were too small for the front. They didn't have 12mm in prevailing, but I bought a pair of nylon lock washers in M12 X 1.25 for the time being.

As an FYI, the Powergrid endlinks are M12 x 1.75 in the front and M10 x1.5 rear. Found the following on Fastenal.com:
http://www.fastenal.com/web/products...0A20000&ucst=t
The M12 lock nut is listed as grade A2 and made of stainless steel. Would this be appropriate for the application?
Unfortunately, it looks like the M10 lock nut is only sold by the box (90 pieces @ $144), although there is a Class 10 grade, zinc plated nut available for $.40 each. TIA.

how are the rear endlinks M10?? do they have a spacer/bushing that goes in the sway bar?

A little update, I just got under the car today with the intent of taking one whole side apart to find what was clunking. Turns out the sway bar bushing bracket bolts were loose. I cranked them back down and re seated the end links on both sides just in case.
