Like Norm said ... Sears. I would have preferred the flare-nut type over the crowfoot set that I have. They would provide a better grip on the nut and prevent rounding.

Thanks alot guys! I think I'll go with the flare-nut type as you suggested 6-Speed.
157dB... are you talking about making sure the arrow on the top strut plate is pointing in the right direction? If so I checked and re-checked that.

I had a similar problem with my Koni Sports. The strut rod rounds very easily when you are trying to hold it in place. Had a crows foot and still had to settle for good-n-tight.
