So Im tryin to tighten the top nut that holds the mount and spring and everything down, I gripped the rod with some vice grips at the very top that was flat on the sides to prevent it from turning.

While I was tightening the nut, the top flat part of the rod broke off. I only tightened it half way down. The whole nut has thread to grab onto, but there is a slight gap between the nut and the washer and when i hit a bump there is a slight metal noise between to two when they hit. Im prolly going to put some rubber washers between the two if I cant figure out how to fully tighten the nut without spinning the rod.

So any ideas?
