Glad you got home ok Dave. That top shock nut should be a nylock and tightened down hard against the metal spacers that leave the correct compression on rubber mounts. Even more important to use nylock on lower mounts as the rubbers can be overtightened there.

BTW the allen head at top of shock spindle, or flats in case of adjustable Spax as above, play no part in nut security. They are just there to prevent spindle turning whilst you tighten/loosen nut.
