PINCHED NUTS QUESTION

When it comes to the front nut on the strut rod, I've never seen or heard of one ever coming off. But, let's assume that's a possibility. By the time the nut would back off enough to get toward the end of the threads, you're going to notice something is definitely wrong long before the nut comes completely off. You're going to get a bad clunk like the bushings are totally gone and probably a loose wobbly suspension feel to it. Both the strut rod and nut are not hardened steel like the torsion bars. They're not going to fracture. They bend instead, so worrying about them cracking is needless.
