Need help finding top hex nut for suspension

Im looking for the top hex nut on the front of our cars that holds the shocks in place, tightens up under the hood. Ive tried the dealer and they orderd the wrong part, then looked at the VIN and still cant get the right size, tried home depot and napa, no luck. Looked online and found some but if chrysler is wrong im worried those willbe too, and they want about $15 to ship which is ridicules, if anyone has a spare of knows where to get one please let me know

Thanks for that 180, we couldve swore that the stock shocks and konis where the same size, that would be why I cant get it from chrysler.

Try Honda. Found this in a Honda forum thread :

so the local honda dealer is charing $0.50 each for the M10 x 1.25mm self locking nuts and ~$3.50 for the M12 x 1.25mm. i need these parts for installing new shocks on my DB8. haven't had a chance to call the service dept of other honda and acura dealers yet, but i'm willing to bet they'll be in that ball park.
