Default Question about bolt size where the strut bar mount's.

i have a 02 and my wife just installed a OEM strut bar to it. She tells me that the nuts tighten fine to the strut but that the nut is flush to the bolt and asked if there needed to be other bolts installed because she was afraid the nuts were going to come out. Any help would help

Make sure you have the nut that is specifically for the strut bar. The bottom end of the nut partially goes in the hole in the stut bar in which case, being flush is fine.

She just send me the pics of it. Matching those with all the other pics of this site,my nuts on the car seem bigger than everyone else's im going to call tischer......

On a side note she installed my lower trim on my steering wheel and brand new shifter paddles.
