Trouble Finding Parts

[Woodtick_02]

Im in the process of changing over the front suspension on my 83 fox and have ran in to a snag. I changed to a tubed K member and arms and when I went to put my coil overs on the sleeve would not fit over my struts. I did knock off the ring at the top of the strut but it still will not fit. The strut housing is 2.125 diameter and that is the same size as the id of the coil over strut sleeve. I have been online looking for a different strut but nobody lists the od diameter of their strut. Can anyone tell me who makes a strut that is less then 2.125? I have checked Lakewood, Granatelli, QA1 and many others but cant get any specs.

Have you gone to the Maximum Motorsports website?

Yes I did Mike but the problem Im having is that nobody lists what the OD is on the strut housing.

Whose coilover do you have? They typically state in their documentation what strut to use.

Strange coil over sleeves.

After spending some time at the parts store going through different struts I found that 95 mustang struts will work with a small mod to them. They are a 1/2" longer but thats OK. Every thing went together great.
