ST165 and ST185 front strut bolt diameter

Postby sergei » Sun Apr 22, 2012 11:29 pm

After I sold my ST165 hubs, I stumbled upon yanks talking about drilling out ST165 hubs to use ST185 struts, which suggest that ST165 run different strut bolts.

I am using ST202 hubs, and all the strut bolts I have are of the same diameter (ST165 and ST205), which got me thinking, is this "feature" USA only? In fact, I have so many of strut bolts that I am not sure which ones are which....

So could some one tell me what is the diameter of following:
ST165 front strut bolts (two 19mm bolts that go through struts)
ST185 front strut bolts


Thanks.

I just looked through the garage and found original ST165 bolts (They don't look like normal strut bolts, eg silver colour, they are goldish colour hence made me confuse them with random chassis bolts).
They are smaller in diameter by about 1mm...
It seems that I had ST185 struts all along hence the confusion.

ST185 Struts are 17mmstrut holes
ST165 & ST202 are 15mm

Can easily custom make you a set of coilovers to suit your setup :)

Your site isn't working?, I have ST162 TEMS shocks I'd like to coilover with camber plates.
The rears have screw tops so easier than gutting the normal type, is there a kit or does it need to be custom?

Yes my site isnt working so I cant update the new stock we just landed of MRP coilovers. I've contacted my web host to find out whats going on.

We can custom make ST162/165 coilover no troubles. All our coilovers come with camber plates up front standard.
Rears are also camber adjustable via a slotted hole in the hub.

Thanks for the info, I'll get back to you when the money tree blooms.

Just as well I decided to ditch the ST185 hubs and mod Sergei's old hubs
