SPC Front Arm - lock nut size?

ChrisSlicks

My SPC arms have gone out of alignment (no big surprise there). Anyone know the nut size on the top lock nut? Biggest I have is 1 inch, so I will have to borrow or buy a larger socket.

I made reference marks when I got my alignment so I can reset it to the aligned position.

To answer my own question I remembered I had another set of sockets in the garage. 1 1/16" worked perfectly. If it was a metric nut I'm guessing it was either 27 or 28mm.

If you just installed them then yes you will be out of alignment unless you had an alignment done at the same time.

They shouldn't touch if you have the correct part. I know that during testing different part #'s were tried, perhaps you have the wrong ones? I think the 370Z uses the same part as the G35 Sedan.
