Rear Strut Lower Nut/Bolt

So I just finished pulling the left rear strut out of my Max and the lower nut is completely butchered. I look in the service manual and it's supposed to be replaced with the strut anyway. No big deal. So I look at the part catalog to order a couple and...nothing. They aren't listed. The bolt is there but not the nut. Anyone had to acquire this nut and know where to get one?

I suggest going to your closest Nissan dealer. I could not find the part number so I went to Royal Oak Nissan in Calgary and they had them.

I have 2 extra front and rear nuts, so if you can't find them I can ship these to you.

Thanks, I'll give them a call in the morning.

That happened to me with one of my nut in the rear when I was changing the strut, it was seized and ended up butchered the nut, I had to go junkyard to get a another nut.
