strut nut size

[foxracing4500]

I replaced my struts with tokico blues and red lower springs but anyone know the size of the nut that goes on the top of the washer?

I think I found a replacement but Fastnal is right down the road,

STM: OEM MITSUBISHI STRUT TOWER NUTS | 90-99 DSM | EVO VIII | EVO X | 3000GT / STEALTH | MF434105

I'm not positive that the STM page you have is quite what you're looking for. I do know this, you will need a high tensile nut because it's going to be under a lot of pressure. I'm all for finding the cheaper alternative to the OEM, but only if it doesn't sacrifice longevity or reliability. If I were you, I'd call up my local Mitsu dealer and get it through them. Can't be too bad, its just a nut, right?

I'm still confused as to whether he needs new nuts (plural - three per side in the front) for the plate to be held to the chassis, or a new nut (singular - one per side) for the end of shaft on the shock. Ergo, I didn't reply before now.

right...from the wording of his question, I gathered he needed the one for the end of the shock shaft, but the STM page he posted seemed that it was for the plate bolts...

that was worded bad, but I do need the shock shaft nut.
