So I'm missing a nut for my front rancho 17505. I got them from JBA and the box had like 4 holes in it, Same with the other one. Good thing that one didn't fall out. So what should I do? What size nut to I need? |

I was about to leave when I was making sure I had everything and then noticed the nut was missing. I wonder If I could use the nut off the old strut. |

That is a locknut,there are many versions where the ones that where supplied are just crushed so they look oval to prevent backing off. If I remember they are a standard 3/8" course thread nut.Just go and get some 3/8" course thread grade 8 nuts and some washers.After putting the washer and nut on and tighten them thread on a second nut and lock against the 1st one,called double nutting(sounds bad  ) but it's the poor mans locking nut and works very well.Just throw away the oval locknut for the other side(after getting the correct nuts).

So I do that on one side and use the oval on the other side? Or the double nut on both sides? |

What you should do is call JBA or Rancho and let them know you are misssing parts. I have no doubt they will send them to you at no charge. If you don't use the proper supplied parts you have no hope of a warranty. Just my
