Went to Pep Boys (Sachs Stabilis SG425001, 92714) but the struts had no balls. None of the others there did either. Can't drive without balls (for the struts). "My Name is Richard.

This had "balls", but one was the wrong size ( one nut was longer and won't work). I told the kid at the counter that the kits were supposed to have the balls and the kit did not, but these will work if I switch it with the other package, and he let me. I love the hood struts, and it took maybe a half hour, tops.

When I looked at Pepboys recently the struts came with balls. I can't think of anyplace to find them at. I've looked some but had no luck.
