I just noticed this today. I bought this from a guy who had a strut bar on it so i figure if there are supposed to be nuts on these bolts it is because he took it off and didn't put the nuts back. If there are what size are they and what do I torque them at. Thanks

 

Yup, there are supposed to be nuts there.

 

WHOA yea bolts need to be there

 

holy ****, have you been driving around like that?

 

hopefully your strut doesnt fall out

 

He'll be fine for the time beind assuming he drives only on flat roads lol

 

haha, use 14mm and tighten them as tight as you wish....

 

yeah, i've had the car for like 4 months now. its passed inspection and been at the honda dealership for a pre-buy inspection, etc. and no one noticed it. i'm pretty lucky i still have a car to drive and not a heap of metal.

 

Wow.. well maybe you shouldn't go back to that dealer. I would refrain from driving your car until you get those nuts, not too safe.

I've also bought a few modified cars in the past. It amazes me what idiots can do to a car.

Good Luck

 

Dude, thats crazy.. replace those ASAP!

 

Jeysus, those are the nuts for the top A-frame/Wishbone. I am very surprised it has not fallen through.

I think they are to the spring/damper assembly, not the upper A arm. The third nut is probably on (not visible in the pic), and it's not likely to fall out because there is nearly always spring pressure; there really should be 3 nuts on it though...

 

If you're a torque spec person like my friend is, tighten them to 28 foot pounds.

yes some nuts there would help look around if it is missing that you better check everything may be missing some other parts also

 

does anyone know the thread pitch? Lowe's only had 10mm 1.5 and that didn't fit.

 

i wuld buy them from teh dealer since the factory nut has a shoulder on it.
