Hey guys! The later pinch bolt style ball joint. How wide is the post that goes into the strut? In metric would be nice. Thank you!

Just to clarify, late style struts use a special wedge bolt.

Early struts use a pinch bolt.

Hope you aren’t just planning to run a standard hex bolt though a late strut instead of the proper wedge bolt.

FYI - the profile ground into the ball joint also changes to accommodate either the wedge (late) or a round pinch bolt (early)
