I should verify, I didnt get any hardware. I think I need some short 3/8" bolts and nuts for the bottom t-bar mount; but need to make sure what I need for the top shock nut. does the top nut actually need a bushing or anything?

whaa, are you for real? if so that would be great. I tried matching it up at the hardware store, Home Depot, and a specialty fastener store and they didnt have anything. ill do more research on that. thanks for the help Randy

ok, well my rear shocks are out and the nut from those does not fit the QA1's so I dont think the qa1 pitch is the same as the stock shocks. i found a 10mmx1.0 nut and it went on the qa1 shaft but it had a little bit of wobble to it. It could possibly be a 3/8x24 if it's SAE. I tried that at home depot but my threads need to be chased out before i go trying the nut. i dont want to screw it up if it's the wrong size. does anyone have one off the car they can measure?
