Get a regular nut from the hardware store & a flat washer & lock washer. That nut needs to be very tight. If it works loose it wallers out the hole in the frame & rattles.

Re: Front shock upper nut

What you need Lou is a stover nut. It is a nut that is a little oval shaped and won't come off. It acts like a lock nut. I used them on
My top shock mount and have used them on motor mounts. They work great. You can get them at Quality fastener off of 35 and thosand oaks.
