Hi guys

Im installing bilstein shocks, ive got the shock and the strut it mounts into. I dont have the nut ro tighten the top.

Does anybody know which nut screws into the top? My nut off the original is too tight anddoesnt tighten leaving some play.

Anybody know what nut goes into to tighten the shock?

Cheers
Yaad

Did you buy them new? They are meant to be supplied with the nuts. If they weren't you need to speak to who ever supplied them to you.
