I purchase the Monroe MAXLift for my CRX rear hatch but they didn't provide the ball tip stud... The upper ball stud is OEM so no worry but the lower lift support is held by a 14mm bolt. So I need to replace the bolt with a ball stud because the new shock lift has the ball insert on each end. The Monroe didn't give me any aftermarket ball stud to replace it with, so does anyone know where to get the lower ball stud? I have search many places but have no luck.....

Upper ball stud is a 10mm ball with 8mm thread but the lower bolt has a 10mm thread so i cannot replace it with another upper ball stud...

 

It's also call the ball stud but I cannot seem to find the right size...

 

you sure the kit you got was for the appropriate year?
because i know on crx' they changed that ball stud from88/89 and 90/91

when i bought mines it came with everything to replace with new parts.

 

yeah usually comes with the shock, if needed.

its not the same as oem.

 

Thanks but that's for the upper ball stud and they are smaller than the bottom bolt. The OEM one for the bottom is a 14mm bolt but the shock I got is a ball fitting type on the top and the bottom...

Some one said they purchase it at NAPA so I'll go see it tomorrow.

 

Yeah I've seen other brands such as Stabilus (The brand with the picture I posted) seems to supply with replacement ball stud... But not this one

 

Basically the upper ball stud is a 10mm Ball with 8mm thread and the lower ball stud is a 10mm ball with 10mm thread.

 

Went to NAPA but they only had the standard threading...

 

hold on, i might have some with my spare hatch supports for my crx. gimme 2 minutes

 

now that i think of it. you have the wrong lift support. check it out these are the ones i have for my crx. only the part on the hatch is the ball tip, and the part on the chassis is a normal bolt.

 

The lift support by itself is the correct size. I just need the ball stud which is usually provided with the kit like the sample picture but it wasn't... So I'm just looking for a place that sells the ball stud with metric 10M thread...
