Suspension fasteners like this hexagon nut are crucial to maintaining the shock absorbers firmly in place. Over time, original nuts can become worn, corroded, or rounded from repeated servicing or exposure to the elements, compromising torque retention and suspension integrity. Replacing worn or damaged nuts with this OE Match unit restores proper clamping force and ensures reliable shock absorber mounting.

This hexagon nut is ideal for use during suspension overhauls, shock absorber replacement, or whenever original hardware shows signs of age or wear.

Fasteners like shock absorber nuts are often overlooked during suspension service, but worn or corroded hardware can lead to looseness, rattles, alignment issues, and compromised handling. Using an OE Match hexagon nut ensures proper torque retention and suspension performance, helping maintain ride quality and component longevity.

When to replace:
• During shock absorber removal and replacement
• When original nut shows corrosion or thread damage
•  If fastener cannot be torqued to specification
•  After collision repair or suspension rebuild
•  As part of preventative maintenance on high-mileage vehicles
