Which nut? One of the 4 nuts or the single center nut that holds the strut in place? If it's one of the 4 nuts, take one of the other nuts off, take it to Home Depot or Lowes or any large hardware store. Find the metric nuts and bolts and try screwing metric bolts of the same general size into the nut until you find one that screws in without binding up. Then find a nut that fits the bolt.

If it's the center nut, you can take the one off the other strut, but don't drive the car with the nut off. Take that nut and go through the same process at the hardware store.

You can always get the nut from a dealer, but it will cost a lot more.
