While I was putting my coilovers in, I stripped one of the screws that goes through the actual bottom of the strut. (17mm) does anyone know the exact name, maybe the part number so I can order it from honda? thanks!

 

Im sure honda will charge you an arm and a leg, go to autozone or advanced and see if they have one big enough! Home depot doesnt have the grade high enough for heat. 8 is a good grade to use for that I bought grade 8 bolts for my header and they work perfect.

The part that strips out is the nut, due to corrosion and sometimes improper torque. You will need a longer bolt and a new nut that can hold some decent torque, the nut gets doubled up over the end of the stripped nut. I stripped out two screws on the upper control arms when I swapped my suspension last year and I got some Honda bolts and nuts that allowed me to retrofit them onto the stripped parts, they worked mint and saved me a lot of headaches. If you want the part numbers and measurements shoot me a pm, they are Honda suspension bolts and nuts used on other vehicles, they allow you to double up the nut on the stripped end and the longer bolt will extend through both nuts and the nut holds the required torque as it is designed for suspension parts. I bought some spares just in case my other parts ever stripped in the future, give me the measurement of the stock bolt and I should be able to tell if the parts I have will also fit the bottom of the shock, I think they should , but I'd like to measure to be sure as I used mine on the upper control arms.
