NEED HELP ASAP!!!

I have a 2009 Tacoma that I just put a lift on. One major problem though is I lost the nut that goes on to the bolt that bolts threw the lower part of the strut in to the lower A-arm. Does anybody know where I can get this nut and what size it is? I already contacted a dealership about getting it but it is on back order. Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

 

do you mean the bottom shock mount?>

 

its a 19mm nut.

 

lowes?

 

can you take the nut off the other side and run to lowes or home depot to match it?

 

its 19mm and as long as you dont need the bolt you can find the nut at any hardware store. the torque specs are on the forum as well

 

Thank you. Are the threads different from a standard bolt?

 

Take the one off the other side to match up.
Metric sizes have many pitch variations on the threads.

Just went out and checked.
The bottom shock/strut bolt is 14mm with a 1.5 thread pitch on my truck.
The outside of the nut may be 19mm I did not check that.
If you get a nut at home depot get a washer as well.

 

Ok thanks again

14mm X 1.5 thread pitch

 

Is bolt hardness an issue?
