Lower Strut Bolt and Nut Size

[Timrich]

Anyone know the lower strut nut and bolt size? I need to cut mine off to add the spacer and I really don't want to order them from Nissan since they are going to be pretty pricey for 2 bolts and 2 nuts.

They're pretty important bolts. I would get them from Nissan. You need the shoulder on them for the bushing to sit on.
Nissan part # is 01125-0047U for the bolt. In the 6$/per range. Worth it, IMO.

I priced them out through courtesy and it was gonna be like 40 shipped. Seemed a bit pricy for 2 bolts...

I don't see why you couldn't replace it with a Class 10.9 (~Grade 5) or 12.9 bolt (~Grade 8). I don't recall seeing anything special about the bolt other than it being a metric flange bolt. I can reconfirm in the AM.

It has a shoulder on it that makes it a little bit odd. I thought I had some laying around. I'll check and let you know Tim.

There's going to be a flat or a channel in the bolt so the alignment washer actually shows what the offset is.

That's just the lower control arm bolts. The lower shock bolts don't have that.

Well, crap. Misread this thread. Just go to the hardware store and find something that fits.

That would be awesome if you did Ryan! Thanks! I'm gonna have to cut mine off to put my lift on.

It does have a shoulder, but I don't see a point if you replace the coilover/bushings.

Here is the bolt:

Edit:
Did some more thinking about it- The only logical thing I could see that being used for is to create a press fitting for the rubber bushing. That bolt is also used on the rear shocks on the bottom side. I would still be comfortable replacing with a 10.9-12.9 bolt from ACE or whathaveyou.
