strut adjustment
okay so i dont know if this is a problem or what i was taking a look under the hood and my driver side strut adjustment nut is at the top of the threads and passenger side is like an inch below where the threads start and obviously they are different but im wondering if i should make them the same or what and to what specs. i would much appreciate some feedback.

RE: strut adjustment
Ok here is the pics you e-mailed me.
By looking at them the drivers side is normal. The passenger side has the washer it is upside down and it also looks like the cross looking nut might be missing. But hard to tell the top nut would have to be removed and then you would have to see from there.

Im not 100 percent if it is ok to remove the car should hold the spring compressed. You can remove the nut some with a wrench or socket and see if it comes loose. Take it loose some so you can lift up the washer and see if the cross nut is under there.
If not you will need a cross nut. But I will bet it is missing.

All you will need is a nut you will not need a washer you will flip over the washer that is there.
You might have to buy it from the dealer the link below doesnt list it. You could always call them and see if they can get it.

RE: strut adjustment
try your local industrial fastener place, i work at one and we get guys coming in all the time looking for OEM automotive / truck nuts and bolts
they are just that - OEM, so what we give them is similar but not the same ... does the same job though,,,
ask for a nylon insert locking nut, grade 8 or 9 preferably - its standard if not get a regular grade 8 nut and a lock washer, or a bonded washer- take one of yours off and show it to them so they can match the threads
