Let me know if you want to trade the shocks for some wheels....

Any help?

I called green sales and they took one out of the box and measured 1 1/8" from the top of the boot to the end of the stud.

Does anyone know the correct measurements?

For some strange reason, this post never popped up on my screen when I clicked READ NEW. I just saw it for the 1st time at 5:20PM on Monday. I will go downstairs and get the box & open it and post. Give me 30 minutes!

Thanks, I'll get some pics up tonight.

The two I got AND the one Green Sales pulled did not have the green TBird sticker...bummer.

I wonder if the studs can be different lengths, just so long as there is enough length for the nut to grab....unfortunately I know nothing of these things.

The 1.5" is correct. Mine are both 1.5" using that measurement that you refer to.
The total length of the piece is 6.5"

My tags (green) say BIRD E7SC - 3289-BA WhatEVER THAT means.....

Wait.......I screwed up. I measured it again. It's exactly ONE INCH from the narrower end of the grey/black boot to the tip of the nut. Okay?
VERY SORRY, Had no reading glasses & couldn't really see too good. Now I can C

The shorter one. Measure from the narrowest end of the discolored soft rubbery thing to the tip of the nut. Should be exactly 1 inch. The nut does not protrude past the sleeve, as it does on your picture of the other one (on the left, looking at the picture.) Maybe mine are BOTH wrong ??? Ummmmmmm.

You got your nice white carpeting ...dirty, you're getting yelled at !

Brent, if you can take the rubber cap off the part and measure from the edge of the arm to the hole in the bolt, that would be a very good measurement too.

Even with the difference in bolts, I found the hole was closer between the two but 1/8 of an inch off nonetheless.
