Lower strut nut/bolt size?

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Anybody know what size they are? Got the coil conversion here for my old man's 95 and just wanna make sure I have the right size socket before I start to tear stuff apart.

Oh yeah, and if anyone's looking for a pair of month old Arnott front springs/struts, PM me. They'll be off the car soon.

15/16 fits it. Use a 3/4 end wrench to hold the strut rod. Use the end wrench on the flats but NOT in the middle, stay on the ends. If you need to remove the rod it takes a 30mm on front nut. Good time to change bushings.

Appreciate it. The whole front end was re-done a few weeks ago, I just couldn't remember what the hell the size was. Thanks!!

It's 21mm

Thanks, dude. Nice write-up on the conversion, too!

Mine started as a rack replace, but kept spending until front suspension was new. New ps pump, and hoses this weekend.
