dgotc Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Hello all, I'm in the process of searching for struts for another vehicle that is not really supported by the auto industry anymore. I'm looking for the diameter of the strut that get clamped into the knuckle. My 2016 transit connect is approximately 52mm. What is the diameter of the earlier gen transit connect? Hopefully someone with a calipers can measure it at some convenient time. I'm also interested in the height of the spring perch from the lower end, but that's not as critical. Thanks!

lowspeedpursuit Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 2010 base cargo. Strut dia. measured just under the perch is ~53.4mm / 2.1". It's possible there's a minute neckdown on the clamped bit at the bottom; I don't really have space to take it apart ATM. Weld below the perch to bottom of the strut is ~224mm / 8+13/16".

jdob Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I have my stock struts out at the moment and the gaz coilovers ready to go in. The stock measures 51.1 mm and the gaz measures 51.4 mm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgotc Posted October 7, 2022 Author Share Posted October 7, 2022 Awesome, thanks everybody! I'm hunting for a strut closer to 45mm for older gen subarus (1980's). There is currently only one option available... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
