Post subject:  Top plate stud size?

Anyone know what size studs are used for the spring/shock assembly top plate? After pressing in/out a couple of times trying stock top plate vs daystar the knurled part is smooth now so i need to replace because one of them won't tighten now. Thanks

On KJs a Ford Taurus wheel stud would work not sure on the KKs but worth a shot

Thanks Tom, i know the kk ones look different and might be a little bit longer. They have pointed ends and also have enough threads to run a 3/8" plate along with the daystar plate. I could even run a 10.9 bolt because lucky for me its the only one not partially covered by the top isolator, so i can get in there with a wrench and not have disassemble the susp again. So i guess the real question is: what diameter, length and thread pitch are they? I only have an sae gauge and 29/64ths was the closest. Probably just have to remove it and go to napa.

For search reference purposes: it is def m12x1.75 Pretty sure 36mm length and knurl diameter of 13.9. Good luck finding these. I'm just going to tack weld them in so they won't spin.
Napa part # 641-1622 will work but you have bore out the holes because of the larger knurl diameter and also buy new nuts because they are m12x1.5
