Exclamation Endlink Nut Size?

Does anyone know off hand what size the nuts on the endlinks are. The ones that connect to the strut to be exact..

to make a long story short, mine fell off (and i lost it) and I'm just going to go buy another properly sized nut to re-attach it instead of buying an entire new pair of endlinks... I really dont wanna be riding around with one endlink disconnected much longer as this just happened a few days ago

Take the other one to wherever you're getting the nut, they can measure the threads

i dont have access to the proper tools to remove the other nut where I am currently at, so I'd rather just get one and install it at a distant location all at once if possible.. can you order just a nut?

If you dont have the tools to take the other nut off, how are you going to put the new one on?

Seriously. 3/8" racket and 18mm socket.
Drive to hardware store, reach behind wheel and remove the nut.
Take it inside and find one of the same size, buy, install.....

Your over complicating this bro.

the price for the studs and nuts was a little cheaper thru CED but that was without shipping

dealer was about the same, too bad the nuts for the swaybar/endlink arent on CED

just looked

I'll go have to find a buddies place to go throw it on at, as I dont have proper tools without driving 2.5 hours home
