Rear strut mounting bolts.

[90TGP]

Ok, you know the two bolts that hold the rear struts to the strut towers? Does anyone know the size of these bolts? I want to get some bolts to replace those that are just slightly longer in thread length so that I can properly bolt down my rear strut tower brace without having to worry about the thread being too short. I don't want the nuts to vibrate loose and fall off.

 

What is the size of the bolts and where can I get some that are just slightly longer?

I cant remember the size, but Ive had my rear STB on for well over a year, almost two now, and the nuts havent moved at all

take one of the STB nuts with you to the hardware store and find a bolt that is a little longer and that the nut will thread onto no problem.

Yeah you want to be cautious of the thread pitch of the bolts when you do that. I think the head of the bolt was 15mm but it's been over a year and I could be wrong. Just don't go trying to put a bolt in with a different thread, make sure they're the same.

if your going to be buyin bolts at a hardware store make sure they are at least grade 5 bolts, grade 8 would be a good idea....dont want them bastards to break on ya...btw...you can get grade 5 bolts at just about any napa store

I believe pep boys has grade 8 bolts. If you can take one there, they have some nuts you can thread into and find the right size and pitch.
