Does anyone have the strut bolt part #

I recently took my driver rear strut off and I lost the bolt that holds it. The one i'm talking about is the bolt that goes through the bottom of the strut(circular part) not the top-hat. I tried to explain it to my dealership but they didn't know what I was talking about and trying to get the part number or the bolt. I'm also looking for the bolt that hold the spring cup up. I would paypal you 5 bucks for correct info.

I don't know the part number, but you an just buy one the same size and length from Lowe's for .25 instead of ordering it and waiting for it and paying $5 from Infiniti. Just take the one you have into the store and get one the same size and thread pitch.

I know when I put coilovers on I just dug in my junk bucket and pulled out a matching nut and bolt and used that. You could do the same if it requires a nut. If no nut do as betty says. Pretty sure all our bolts are metric and a thread pitch of 1.25.
Worst case scenario. Take the one off the passenger side and go match it up anywhere.

FWIW, our bolts are all metric but have various thread pitches depending on the size of the bolt.

Here you go:

Lower strut bolt: 56280-AQ00A
Spring perch bolt (knuckle side): 55080-AL50A and nut: 55269-AG00E

I'm assuming you mean spring perch bolt on the knuckle side. On the subframe side would be the toe bolt.

You can get a grade 8 bolt for .50 cents!!

Dealer will charge you $9 for the bolt, $3 for the nut.

Im just adding to your post, Jeremy, not correcting you.

Good call. I wasn't sure of the exact cost, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a bolt from a dealership when it's the same thing.

In my noob days I broke the bolt to tighten the idler pulley on my car ('92 Nissan Stanza) and it cost me $17 from the dealership. $17!!! I thought maybe it was special. So I went to a local bolt and fastener supply place and he sold me the exact same bolt for .27.

When I returned the bolt to the dealership the same day (in an unopened package) he charged me a 20% restocking fee to put it back in the drawer. So I paid $3.40 for a Nissan bolt I didn't even use. Needless to say I drove right past that dealership that's 4 miles from my house to one 40 miles away to buy my next 2 cars.

You shouldve ordered them online. At the dealership they charge you full retail price plus tax. Online, you pay whole sale prices and no tax if it's outside your state.

OEM Infiniti Parts - Infiniti Parts Online
Infiniti parts

I usually buy from those two websites. Just type in the part numbers I gave you. Or you can browse through their catalog.
