    Rear Strut lower mount question

    Hello. I purchased some Monroe Quick Struts to install on my Accord. The lower portion of the rear Monroe struts do not have a nut welded on them like my current struts do. Does anyone know what type of nut I can buy to mount these rear struts to the original lower bolt (thread size, grade, flange nut or regular, self locking, coarse/fine thread etc.)? I will contact Monroe to see if they have the proper nut, since they didn't supply the correct nut in the box with these struts.

    Thanks.

    All you do is take your original bolt down to Ace hardware or whatever hardware store and have them give you a nut that fits it. I had to do the same thing with mine. I used a automotive grade flange nut, can't remember if it was locking or not, probably couldn't hurt to get a locking one tho. U could also use a normal nut and a washer (locking or not). Actually I replaced my original bolt with a slightly longer one too.

      Thanks. I was able to find a 10mm locking nut, but I would like to see if I can find a flange nut before I take everything apart again. I hope that the threads on the original bolt aren't fine thread, cause I had trouble finding a fine thread nut. I'll find out for sure once I take it apart again. I'll probably end up disconnecting the rear struts off again anyway since I want to replace the lower strut mount bushings in the future.

        FYI for anyone else who needs this info - the lower bolt for the rear strut is a 10mm x 1.25 bolt, which is fine thread. Most of the bolts on this car seem to be 1.25, or fine thread.

        I ended up using a spare flange nut that was for the top strut mount bolt, since it was the correct size and thread.
