Hey guys! The later pinch bolt style ball joint. How wide is the post that goes into the strut? In metric would be nice. Thank you!

Just to clarify, late style struts use a special wedge bolt.
Early struts use a pinch bolt. Hope you aren’t just planning to run a standard hex bolt though a late strut instead of the proper wedge bolt. FYI - the profile ground into the ball joint also changes to accommodate either the wedge (late) or a round pinch bolt (early) @krieger  |

Thanks @Superhawk996 for clarifying my post a little more. I should add wedge bolt style. I wonder if they are the same size anyway?

QUOTE(Krieger @ Jan 16 2024, 11:30 AM)  Thanks @Superhawk996 for clarifying my post a little more. I should add wedge bolt style. I wonder if they are the same size anyway? I would think the ball joint stem that slides up into the strut will be the same OD but I’m not 100% sure. It sounds like Ninja got you the OD for the late (wedge) ball joint so should be OK. Just wanted to clarify post regarding which style was early vs late. I assume you were trying to find non-OEM joint or maybe doing something unique for the track car suspension. |
