What thread is the Nut that holds on the top of the springs/shocks?
I looked in the FAQ but they didnt have it listed.

I need to get new nuts for all four corners since I am putting stock suspension back on and have misplaced mine. If anyone knows what size and thread they are so I can pick up 12 of them at the hardware store tomorrow I would appreciate it! thanks!

Oh... those! Oops. M14x1.5 is the big nut size.

Unfortunately my car is not at home now, so I can't go measure those

I think they're 10mm x 1.25.
Could be 1.5 though.

The studs on the front shock top mount are 8 x 1.25. The OEM nuts have serrated flanges (no washers or lock washers). Standard nuts with lock washers or self-locking nuts should be fine.

I did not open up the interior of my vert to check whether the rear mounts are the same size. The parts fiche has a different part number for the rear, but the thread may be the same.
