rear suspension nuts

ive got a slight knocking/rattle from the rear after having rear struts replaced ,ive seen the post about the wrong nuts supplied with the new units,these not having a recess so they dont tighten fully ,but ive looked at my strut threads and they seem to go all the way down,as they are not a genuine landrover part,so im i right in thinking nuts supplied are ok and i should look else ware for the knocking?I did a post on the maintenance section where there is a picture of the nuts.

Are the mass dampers OK? If the metal mass is loose, there will be a knock from the rear. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.

Interesting thread that jogged my memory. When I replaced my original shocks with Billies, I noticed the same nut difference and salvaged and reused the original flared nuts. I'm glad I did.

so, if as mentioned the new nuts don't tighten down properly is there any reason why a washer cant be added to rectify this?

Bite my head off if you wish, but a question.....

Is it possible that the original nut can be removed from the strut centre, while the unit is still on the car and wheels on the ground? I've a feeling my units, recently installed before I got the car, need checking.

Thought I'd best ask those with experience, before I have a "TWANG!" moment! Very Happy Life is an uphill struggle. Only the gradient varies.

Hi Sid,

I can't make my mind up if there's a tiny bit of a top rattle and I wanted to see if my nuts have that slight countersunk recess. Life is an uphill struggle. Only the gradient varies.
