Its the single nut that holds the strut shaft to the strut mount. It goes right through the middle of the strut mount. To get at it, you'll need to remove the speaker tray cover. This in-turn means that you need to remove bottom section of the back seat and the interior panels in the back seat area. The nut is a 17 mm nut, but its deep inside the strut mount. You'll need to find a deep well 17 mm socket that has flats on the outside. You need the flats so that you put a box end wrench on the socket because the hole in the socket is needed so that you can stick a 6 mm allen wrench through the socket and into the top of the shaft to keep the shaft from spinning while you tighten the bolt. All-in-all, its not a difficult job, but its a PITA the first time you do it.
