I am currently in the process of rebuilding the lower arms. I have read through a few threads and still not 100%.
I have the poly graphite PST front end rebuild kit that has the traditional style lower bushes with the iner and outer shell. Any issues with reusing the original pins? Am i correct if using the standard style bushing that the pin is different to the aftermarket pins using the poly rubber? Look to be different shape and thickness.
If i do use my original pins am i correct that they have special nuts and washers....... i may have misplaced these as stripped front end a year ago.
Are these nuts a one shot use or reusable? Is it just a lock nut or specific to the pivot shaft.

With these style bushes am i correct that you only nip them up and then torque up once the car is on the wheels to avoid ripping the rubbers?
