Strut bolts!

[jimbbski]

I'm looking for some strut-to-carrier mounting bolts that have off-set or eccentric washers built in for camber adjustment. I need some that are 12 mm or 1/2 inch in diameter and about 65-75 MM long, that's 2 3/4-3 inch. The one's that fit MK I VW's are kind of what I need but they are only 50 MM long and that's not long enough!

A suggestion that might work is what we use for camber and toe on the back end:

The bolt measures 0.465" in diameter and the threads end at ~2.9" and extend to ~3.8"

That's kinda what I need but the $85 price tag is not! I usually see these bolt kits go for under $40. I'd just thought I same some looking on line and post my needs here to see if anyone else knows of any that meet my needs.

Thanks anyway.

I think the basic bolt is from a 5 series rear suspension:

Size shown is 10mmx66mm (#15) at $5.93 each, you'll also need #14 $1.32 and #16 $3.80.

Not sure about the length, but the Nissan 240sx and 300zx rear suspension control arm bolts may also work.

As Tristan said, look at Nissan 240SX front and/or rear suspension bolts.

the rears may not be long enough, but they are 12mm dia.
the 89-93 240SX and 89-94 Maxima strut bolts are also 12mm, and are roughly 3" length.

Look at:
54302E (bolt) $4.01ea
56110B (nut) $1.97ea

I probably have a handful of those at home.

For the rear suspension links on the 240SX,
http://www.courtesyparts.com/0891294...4-p-70519.html
Bolt is $7.86ea
Nut is $1.19ea

I know I have a pile of those bolts at home since I replaced all of mine with 1/2" Gr8 and 10mm GR10.8 hardware during modifications.

If you want me to look, I'll try to measure some this week and will be happy to mail you a couple.

Looks like I found some bolts that will work. Thanks for all the replies!
