The u-bolts that came with the new axles came with the destructive style lock nuts.

Google isn't telling me what a "destructive" lock nut is.

I know you guys have to know what I am talking about.  There is a type
of lock nut that is dimpled or punched that partially mangles the
threads when installed to lock it in place.  These have square punch
marks on the flat.

There are several types, it wasn't clear which one you had a problem with. I've read that running down long threads may loosen the side dimpled ones.
