I need some measurements

Featured Replies

hi,

 

Could someone please give me the following dimensions? I need them to find suspension parts for the XT, so I can cross reference the original struts with other cars.

 

The diameter and length of the part of the shock that slides into the front hub (I am talking about 4 stud 4x4).

 

The diameter and length of the shock "arm" which bolts into the stut top.

 

And finally the dimensions of the 3 bolts that hold the strut top to the body. (these are not entirely necessary, I can measure them myself, but if someone has them laying around, that would be way easier)

 

I need to know this, because XT shocks are very hard/expensive to get here and this way I hope to find some nissan/honda/whatever that has the same shocks up front. (legacy +05 can be used in the rear)

 

thanks in advance

Patience... it is a holiday weekend here. Once I find out why my wife's Legacy keeps dying at a certain gas station, I will look through my parts pile. I don't have calipers handy, so any measurements might be a little iffy.
