I've been looking but cannot find out what the thread is. The nut has gone missing so I need to replace. Car is soon to be rolling chassis. Please say its 7/16 UNF as I have some nylocs that size??

Yeah saw that Jhonno but was unsure. Is the main male thread listed on there as 'outer' in which case it is 7/16...

I presume you have already replaced them, but if not then for the sake for £12 each, you would be well advised to do so.

I have just ordered a pair but yet to receive. The lowers were still stiff but the uppers were not, so it is likely they wear quicker (I'm fairly sure my car is on the originals).

Yep all replaced its just the bloody nut that I have lost! I actually forked out for the Lemforder ones which were a bit more and probably unnecessary but belt and braces...
