90TGP Posted November 24, 2004 Report Posted November 24, 2004 What size are the strut mounting nuts on the front strut mounts on a 90 TGP? Quote
R Dubya Posted November 24, 2004 Report Posted November 24, 2004 You talking about the 3 nuts that hold the top of the strut assembly in? They are 13mm I'm pretty sure. Quote
Brian P Posted November 24, 2004 Report Posted November 24, 2004 If the TGP got the same changes as other w-bodies, '90+ GM used 15mm nuts and slightly thicker studs. Quote
R Dubya Posted November 24, 2004 Report Posted November 24, 2004 Could be right because the two dubya-bodies I removed the struts from were both pre '90.. Are you replacing the struts or installing a tower brace? If you are going with aftermarket struts, i.e. KYB or any other, make sure that you check the thread pitch of the struts and make sure the nut you are using is the correct pitch to match the strut. I made that mistake and when I re-installed the spring with the strut assembly out of the car I made a big mess of the threads. But I got myself a nice tap and die set to fix anything now!! :shock: Quote
90TGP Posted November 25, 2004 Author Report Posted November 25, 2004 I just want to replace the rusted nuts with new ones. Quote
