Bolts for Spohn Front LCA
Further to my other post , this car has been dis assembled for some time then thrown back together for sale so I have to check every nut and bolt
.Coming from a C4 , I am not familiar with what bolt should be where
On the front, the what appear to be the stock LCA bolts ( they are right size for the chassis hole ) are considerably smaller than the hole
in the Spohn sleeve on the rod end - is this normal ?
Bolt Od .462" - Hole .503"
Also the bolts current in place are only shouldered for half the distance of the sleeve ?
Obviously when tightened to spec , the sleeve would be locked in place in the chassis mounts but there would still be room for the suspension to move out of alignment
On my C4 ,all the bolts were a snug fit inside any bushing sleeve on the suspension components when loose
