Long story short dealership had installed a top hat spacer prior to my purchase. Some time ago I upgraded my suspension and while removing these some donk at the dealership tightened these down with what I assumed was with the assistance of a drunk hulk. I had to mangle one of them badly to finally break it free and have been meaning to replace it.

I have searched google using "strut cap nut" and a few variations and I am getting directed to every nut on the suspension but those 3 that sit on what I believe is called the top hat or something that I am looking for.

A little assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Those are called flange nuts. Some are forged type some are not. For a shock I would think grade 8 or 8.5 would be good.
