Eh? There is one nut that holds the bushing to the shock shaft...
the 2 nuts that hold teh bushing plate to the upper mount and the 3 bolts that hold the upper plate (the one with the control arms attached) to the car. Which one was loose?

Re: 1-18mm, 2-13mm, 3-16mm sizes.. Which one?
I am no expert on these matters, all i know is that at the top of the shock tower, there is one nut that is attached to the top of the shock which presses into the car frame in the engine compartment, on both sides of the motor. i used the lug wrench that comes in a MY2001.5 in the trunk. The shocks are bilsteins...the nut was loose and i tightened it a turn and a half each.
