Anyone had to replace top lock nut on bilstein shock?

[JeremyE30autox]

The top lock nut on one of my bilstein shocks does not seem to be staying tight. Has anyone ever had to replace them and if so can you give me a part number and place you got it from.

Or possible the specs on the nut and I can track one down myself

Thanks!

Blue LockTite will keep the nut from loosening if the strut bearing isn't binding.

Are you talking about the nut ontop of the bearing or the strut insert lock down nut? My lock down nut (if that's even the correct word) recently came off on its own :crazy:

The one on top of the shock shaft, not the insert nut

sorry to revive an oldish thread but did you ever get an answer to this question? i need to replace the top nuts on my hds as they didn't come with any and reusing the stock nuts has resulted in mine backing themselves out as well.
