Lower Bilstein strut problem.

[Imperial91]

Guys I made a mistake and over torqued the front lower strut bolts. I over did it with the impact to be more specific haha. One of them is right and not moving at all the other. The tabs broke off and is just hanging there loose.

 

Now I don't even know what these tabs are called to even look for them? Should I just replace them with a bolt and washer/nut?

Replace it with a washer and nut. The 5100s I put on my '08 came with flange nuts. Did yours come with the clip-on nuts or did you transfer them from the stock shocks?

My leveling kit just has a bolt and washer

I had a shop install them the first time around. Thanks for the input.

A new nut and bolt would be just fine. Just be sure to recheck it after a few hundred miles.
