Quick Jam Nut ?

I purchased Chromoly 3/4” -16 Tpi Rod End Heim Joints Left and Right-Hand Threads and they did not have Jam Nuts.

So my question is are Jam Nuts Universal or do I need both left hand and right hand threaded nuts which seems to be the case?

The Jam nuts sold separately online seem to be very costly what would be the best source for nuts priced within reason?

Anything CrMo is going to be pricey. (and brittle) You can get mild steel from Fastenal for $2.65/each. You need left and right thread....

You're welcome. We used to make left handed jam nuts back in the day when I worked in the suspension business..... availability of that sort of item was not what it is now.
