Tokico Trekmasters?

I heard that the top nut on these were causing problems. I just got a set of these and they came with the Nyloc nuts? Should I get a new set of Stovers to swap these out with? I thought that this problem was taken care of. Apparently it was through certain dealers only?

I emailed Steve and he said he does have the better ones. I think that's total B$ that Tokico didn't change these out yet. How many issues do they have to get back before they change it?It's worth it to me to just by the better nuts.

Just use the OEM Toyota nut that came off your old struts.

I installed mine using the original nut which is just fine.

Assuming it's the right size, and not worn, that's what i'll do.

I was wandering the same thing since I have a set in my house waiting to go in and they have Nyloc nuts as well. I am glad this got asked before I asked.
