sachs struts gave a bit of lift to the loyale - it seems!


Recommended Posts

Recently installed some sachs struts on the loyale - parts guy couldn't guarantee the '50% off sale' KYBs would fit, so they gave me the sachs' for the same price. The struts appear to have given a bit of a lift to the car! Even random folks are asking if I lifted it. I didn't measure the clearance before installation, but side by side they appeared equal for the most part.

I now have 12" to the centre of the control arm bolt and 11" to the centre of of the hub (14 pugs with 195/65's). So basically there's a 1" difference between the centre of the axle castle nut and the control arm to crossmember bolt.

Curious to see what other owners measure this to be on their stock 4x4 suspension, might be an easy way to get some boost for those looking for a slight lift.
