The correct ISO standard is three threads past the nut, you should also use the washer provided, i recommend you go to the local bolt place and purchase a pair of the correct length grade 8.8 bolts.

Hi

I'm guessing its a ball joint torsion bar front end...??

and it fits onto a stud... not a bolt...

Problem...

You can't replace it...

leave the washer off and loctite it on...

cheers

Is there a way of narrowing the bottom bush for the shock? I'd look at that. I know the issue you are having too. Try asking the qu on the circuit racing forum. They are all running the same sort of stuff you are.

I remember grinding the bushing a few mms both sides with some shocks that had very wide bushes..

they are just only long enough those studs...

I can't see any way of lengthening them...??
