KW v2 suspension bolt

[rsr552]

Hey guys....

So I bought a used set of KW v2 here a month or so ago, and the seller didn't provide the bolt that the KW strut takes on top (the OEM 135i bolt is not the same...)

Does anybody know the proper bolt size? Also, not sure if the front struts and rear struts require the same bolt...any help please?

Since you are missing the "bolt" you are probably missing the installation instructions. I found them with a single Google search. To paraphrase and cut to the important part:

"The suspension components may only be installed by trained technical personnel using the proper tools."

Homework, before you do anything else, search the following key words:

bolt
nut
strut
shock

And to answer your "not sure", take the, um, "bolt" off the rear and try it on the front. Or just look at it, and answer your own question.

I just tack welded the fronts on.


Just call up KW and buy a spare nut from them, problem solved.
