Can I purchase the top cartridge nut alone?

I managed to lose the top nut that secures the shock cartridge in the strut. The OEM top nut won't fit. Can I buy this alone or stuck buying a new cartridge?

Thanks!

The OEM strut with the KYB 363010 Excel-G cartridge. Had them in my attic for 6 years or so. Just bought another FB and I noticed I lost one of the replacement nuts the cartridges come with.

One of the most convenient places is Amazon.com for purchasing individual nuts and bolts. You have three of the four nuts required, just get the thread size and pitch off one of the nuts you have and put it in the search bar on their website and hit enter. There are other placing selling hardware on line but shipping will usually cost more than the part, or they only sell in quantity.

The gland nut is a little harder to find.

not a guarantee, but try emailing KYB.

Back when Tokico struts were available I did that and received gland nuts when my Illuminas didn't come with them.
