Is there supposed to be a nut on my end links?

Mine is the same way, the top washer is also the nut, should be able to put a wrench on it and loosen it... "should"... if not... chop chop.. they're cheap enough to replace...

Yeah man use a bfh at first but if that won't get it off use a grinder like I did. I only had one without a nut but it still didn't want to come off so I cut it in half and beat it out. Those are absolutely supposed to have lock nuts on them

If my camaro wheels get sold (I found some on CL and they might be sold to someone else tonight) then this will be my project tonight.

Those are OEM units and do not need lock nuts on them, the top washer is the nut which is self locking

in the picture you posted the top "washer" is the nut. down in the rubber bushing is a short threaded piece. only the o.e. parts are done this way. it will not come apart without removing the top "washer", just get ahold of it good and spin the bolt out from the bottom.

I wondered the same thing on my bravada but I looked at one at a dealership and it look like it didn't have a nut ethier. Mine look just like yours so I'm assuming no on them having a nut in top that or we've all just manages to lose them lol. Maybe that's how he dealership tells when our warranties were up, just look to see if the nuts still there haha
