Can anyone please identify the nut pictured at the following
site?

It's head is 12 mm across. It has some sort of locking
mechanism. It sheared off its stud, presumably due to age
and the vibrations that resulted while I was grinding off
the lower inboard control arm bolt on the driver's side.
Part of the stud appears in the photo. At the end of the
day, I found it beneath the cardboard on which I lie to do
this work.

I will be inspecting the engine compartment to see if I can
see a similar one.
