I searched but I guess I didn't enter the right words in the search? Anyways while painting my wheels I noticed one of the nuts that holds the bolt at the bottom on the strut was missing what size is this nut? The bolt is in there but I don't wanna drive the car in fear the bolt come out. Just to make sure yall know which one it is its the two bolts that bolt the bottom strut mount to the spindle? I guess u can call it? I just need to know wat size nut it is so I can get a new one, thanks guys

IIRC, it's a 14mm x 1.5, but your best bet is just to call a parts store or dealer and get the specific nut for it.

Thanks man ill see if that works, I'd call the dealer but I'd have to drive pretty far unless they could ship it out to me

wow you got one of the strut bolts to come loose? i usually need two huge wrenches and some anger....the bottom bolt is splined so unless you hit it with a hammer it wont come out. I'm not saying to not get the nut but i imagine it would be safe for the 5 minute run to the parts store.



My car may run 18s, but I can do your taxes in 10 seconds flat.
JBO lube - they would never have enough in stock and we'd never see RodimusPrime again

you really should get a flange nut for it. best thing to do is call someone that does suspension work like mieneke, midas, firestone, tire rama, big o tires, etc. anywhere that sells tires or does alignments really should be able to get the nut. altho they may have to buy the whole bolt for it. also. you may be able to get away with going to the junkers
