Does anyone know the drop link stud size on the MINI? Is it 10mm or 12mm?

Thanks!

 

Here's what I'm talking about:

 

Strom, if you don't get any bites here, post in the Suspension forum...

I just know that the nuts are 16mm, at least I seem to recall that... The bolt itself, I'd be guessing.

May I ask why you want to know the size?

 

I dont see the pic being my work server sux.....but if you mean the lower ball joint its 12x1.5

 

I absolutely hate that stud....most annoying thing to reattach once you have spent an hour getting the spring on and off.

They are (M10x1.5) and i just double checked in bentley

 

It was asked of me by a suspension manufacturer who is bringing a new coilover setup to the market. Hopefully I'll have more information soon!

 

Thanks very much!

 

Good that out figured it out.... But not seeing what your talking abt screwed me up...... What are you claling a drop link anyway?????

 

The front sway bar end-link.

 

Just here to repeat that I HATE THAT BOLT!!! haha....im in the midst of trying to tighten it onto my rear swaybar....but the rust, and ill thought out plan to use a hex wrench in this mess is getting the best of me.....

Let me know if you need any more numbers strom

 

Good luck with the bolt, man!

I think that they're good on numbers for now. Hopefully they'll come out with this setup soon.

 

Strom,

While we're at it... do you know the specs on the nut & bolt that attach the rear swaybar bushings to the subframe?

Thanks

 

I don't at the moment - I could probably figure it out tonight. RallyMINI might know, though!

 

If anybody knows, I'd sure appreciate it. I need a replacement.

 

Just found it. It's M8x12-8.8.

 

I picked up a replacement (M8x12, 8.8, coarse thread) at Home Depot for 38 cents. My swaybar and I are happy again.:smile:
