Help with my struts

I bought Sensen struts but after installing i think I need another pair of top bushings at the top for the center nut. Any idea where I could find such item because the middle nut is loose and rocking all around in the center and making my ride noisey and annoying. Any help will do. Thank you in advance!

There is always the dealer, part # 54320-40U02 MSRP $62.66
You could order from rockauto.com, MONROE 903910 $23.79 or KYB SM5122 $26.79
You could go to autozone, KYB SM5122 $58.99 or Duralast 142546 $39.99

Pretty much any place that sells auto parts will have them.

Did you order the complete strut and spring or just replace the strut? If just the strut and used the old spring did you make sure to tighten down that middle nut while the suspension was loaded? Have you tried taking an impact gun and zap the middle nut real quick?

I just bought the strut and swapped everything over it seems i need a bushing and washer that go underneath that middle nut to squeeze the spring down a little more and make it more tight so my suspension would make less noise. Yes i took an impact gun to the middle nut after I assembled and loaded the struts.

Ya you really need to replace all the components at the same time whether you buy an assembly or bits and pieces and build your own as everything wears out together.
