The hardware that came with my struts/shocks consists of:

- bag with a lock nut for front struts (2)
- bag with two regular nuts and a plastic number cap for the dial for rear shocks (2)

From what other people's setups I've seen, and it would make sense, there are supposed to be lock nuts for the rear shocks. Do you just reuse stock parts or did the vendor not send me everything?

 

You've got everything.

For the rears I like to reuse the OEM nuts. The ones that come with the rears are kind of small. The OEM ones have a wider flange.

 

thats all you get. reuse your old hardware.

 

thats all you get.

 

Since I got my Illuminas used, I just reused all the OEM hardware....

 

Thanks, guys!

All right, that finishes it. Lock it up, Tim. If you want, you big jerk!

 

huh, i used the new ones that came with the shoks, now thinking it was a mistake, the oem ones do look more solid, i used a lil bit of lock tight, wounder if theyll be ok or i should change the nuts?

how many people used the new nuts? and which one is the locking one anyway the thik or thiner one?
