please help! Strut Tops.

[taffy]

now then whats this?




curtosy of kingas

[taffy]

is this because its hydroactive? if i have the smaller hole can it be drilled?

[taffy]

would this explain the 24mm nut and 27mm?

[taffy]

im really confussed now...apparently they can be those sizes on both non and hydroactive!! why!!??

[taffy]

im off to engineers soon so hopefully will have some answers

Hello Taffy,

The difference between the 17mm and 20mm might be due to differing diameter strut rod fitted to the V6 (and possibly Activa).

The high pressure hydraulic feed into the strut top, visible in the photo, looks like the larger diameter which means it is fitted to Hydractive models.

Hope that helps, but I'm sure someone will correct the info if I'm wrong.

ok thanks that would make sence! hence v6 activias are s1 and s2....well done mate
right have just been down engineers with my s1 nsf top...measured to thread and pitch and non hydra is m8 x 1.5..took the pipe off my strut and measured it its hydra and the thread is m16 x 1.5...also measured the length,diameter of the pipe end...around the olive so by morrow he will have it sorted..but im a little worried thinking about it cause i checked the nut size on top of my strut and its 27mm...i HOPE its not a reflection of the coller size

[taffy]

this answers it so v6 have 20mm tops

[taffy]

can anyone support the activia bein 20mm top coller?

[CitroJim]

can anyone support the Activa bein 20mm top coller?

Nope, only the V6 has the big top hole and they're utterly unique to the V6...

[taffy]

thats great mate we have the answers now

[taffy]

tommorrow i will get the depth and size downs

[taffy]
