So the mounting nuts, that mount the 4 studs on the upper strut to the vehicle.... we I al missing two of them. Now, I am probably going to Tractor supply in the morning to match them up and get two locking nuts to fit on there... but any info on a part number or size would be appreciated

OK so I just got back. After taking my remaining strut mounting nut, and threading it cleanly onto a 7/16-14 bolt, I took some home from Tractor Supply.

Got home, the nut would only thread about three-quarters of the way on the strut stud

*#@!$&*%!$$%@!

So off to Home Depot to try the metric sizes (nothing metric at Tractor Supply)

The PROPER size is M12 x 1.75

Wierd how the strut nut worked on either size bolt/stud, but obviously the stud needed exactly the proper size nut. darn American cars and their half Imperial / half metric components.

BTW, the lift is complete, battery is in, test drive wnet flawless, and tires go on tomorrow.

Pics to follow

Good luck finding new ones! Are you driving around with nothing holding the struts on? Just wondering. :shock:

When I did mine I but the upper ball joint nut on the clevis bolt and screwed the threads up on the nut. Had to get those at the dealer.

Umm.. I got 2 metric nuts and washers to use untill I get the factory ones.

My whole thread was trying to find the size of the stud so I can get replacement nuts
