Mine were definitely crimped. If you blow up the picture you can see it. the picture is from the drivers side that did come off and every 1/2 turn of the nut, it got tight. I tried soaking and wrenching on the passenger side for two days and thats when I noticed the crimp. I will put Nylock nuts on, even if it’s only for insurance as it’s not the easiest to get to.
