Which one of these would apply to my car?



thanks

I believe all of them, they are universal bolt kits that give more/less adjustabily. Why are you looking for these? Did your OE ones give up the ghost? If so, good luck. I had the same issue. Couldn't find OE bolts anywhere except for the JY.

I am replacing everything including the hardware.

Have you checked out http://www.compnine.com? They seem to have a lot of (expensive) GM fasteners.........

These bolts from Monroe work in place of the stock bolts just fine and I have used them multiple times for different FWD GM vehicles. These bolts can be bought at any parts store for around $3 each and some stores stock them.

Monroe part #: AK43

for our cars the strut itself iirc is notched out on top to allow the adjustment. so unless you went wicked low as scd88ga noted you can get just the straight bolts for you car.

You have to notch it yourself, but same theory Jon. You don't need any special bolts unless you wanna run more camber than you need.

KYB struts are notched to allow a good amount of adjustment... so why do you have to notch them youself?

Stock is a straight solid bolt with no cam on it.

The only reason why I see these to be necessary is for someone who is going very agressive with camber.

3X - stock struts are not notched from the factory. They have 2 layers of metal that form that section of the strut. The outer layer is noteched the inner layer is not. That way...

a.) from the factory the camber is pre-set - just slide the bolt thru.

b.) after it leaves the factory if there is a need to adjust away from 'original' (eg: Biw shift, accident, etc) you have an exact guide to follow as you grind out the inner layer of metal.

By the way, the OE bolts are different than those Monroe aftermarket parts. The OE bolts have splines along the shank to help grip the knuckle. That's why the OE bolts have to be hammered out.

Well either way it sounds like he is replacing everything... and in doing that if he is not using 100% factory items then I can almost swear that all aftermarket struts are already fully notched and not just one layer of the metal. I know for a fact that KYB's are since I can adjust them a lot when it comes to camber.

I still don't have a set of KYB struts. So if they are already notched great. I know the stock ones aren't. Even with the notch you don't need that cammed bolt IIRC

I was really surprised when i took my white car to get alignment.. Since it didn't have camber adjustment, the custom Bilstein 'racing' struts from Mantapart were based on stock units... I then bought one of these (Moog) camber bolt kits, it looks so universal and cheap that i didn't bother to use it, -1.4~ camber ain't that bad for a car like this.. unless it starts to wear out the tire too much. I might just get pair of those top adjustable strut mounts then.

I'm aware of that fact , that's why the Monroe bolts are not listed for the Beretta's and other similar vehicles by application, but they do fit nicely and are just another option that can be had easily compared to going to a salvage yard for OE bolts that are a bitch to remove.
