Hey there, doing your own strut or shock replacement? Don't get stuck halfway because you're missing a bolt or nut! This is the Gabriel 142973 mounting hardware kit – it's basically the little bag of all the metal bits you need to bolt everything back together. Think nuts, bolts, washers, maybe a mounting plate... the stuff that often gets rusty or lost when you take the old parts off. It's made from durable steel to handle the road vibrations and weight of your vehicle. Having this kit on hand before you start the job just makes everything smoother. You won't have to run to the parts store mid-project, and you can be sure you have the right hardware for a secure, complete installation. It's a small part of the job, but a super important one for safety and getting it done right.
