    Changed my rear off side spring this weekend but ruined the lower lock nut that attaches the shock absorber.

    I've put the nut on the other way round with the nylon towards the washer and it worked. Is this acceptable until my new lock nuts arrive? Will it still be locked??

    Any help appreciated. I want to drive the car this week and don't want to kill myself!!

    new lock nuts are pence, a standard thread, available from anywhere that sells nuts. there is no excuse to bodge it like this unless you are in a desert miles from anywhere and your life depends on it.
