Lower arm fixings

Hi all.
Just doing the lower arms and I've found that the nuts dont "run" along the bolts easily, they tighten up as if they are like nyloc nuts. Are they slightly special nuts that resist undoing.
Thanks in advance Thumbs Up

Thanks DM Thumbs Up
Wasted some time backing off the nuts and retightening thinking something was wrong then removing the bolts and checking against all the nuts. As you probably know, if you look at the nuts, one end is slightly oval.

Thanks again.

Does this mean the threads should not be (copper)greased? It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

I thought oval nuts were one use only and shouldn't be reused?
