I am a little confused as to what hardware count I actually need to complete
the replacement of my front struts. A post on the Brickboard stated I needed the following:

P/N 948645 (Strut Mount Bolts/Inside engine compartment) QTY:6
P/N 965194 (Strut Bolts.Inside wheel well) QTY:4
P/N 971099 (Strut nuts/inside wheel well) QTY:4

When I ordered the hardware from FCP Groton, they sent me just 4 large
bolts with 4 matching nuts and 4 small copper nuts. Am I missing some hardware?

Depends on what all your doing. I usually replace the big nut ontop of the strut also though if your doing it.
