coilover problem, any ideas?

[matt25]

well today i was fixing a few things in the engine bay, when as usual i find something else wrong..

i noticed that the top centre nut on one of the coilovers is gone.

i dont look under the bonnet that often and i dont know how long its been like this. i do think ive glanced at it like this before though but hadnt thought anything of it...

the car still seems to drive fine, no bad wear but i would like this replaced/repaired..

what is the centre nut for?

are they interchangeable between brands?

where can i find another one? a suspension rebuilder?(if theres such buisnesses)

the cars a nissan cefiro, so silvia suspension,

and the suspension is adjustable coilovers, but brand is unknown as theres no labels or brand names on it..

sorry about the long post and thanks for the help,

i dont have any pictures to show what nut it is

The nut holds the shock shaft to the strut top, so it's important. Pop up to East Coast Suspension at Kirrawee, they should have a selection of nuts they can fit.
