    What size socket for strut top bolts? (18mm deep)

    Hey started taking appart the front end to put in the spacer. My socket is not deep enough to reach the bolts on the top of the struts. Does anyone know what size that socket is so I can pick up a deep one in the morning and get this done?

    I'd buy A cheap set of deep well sockets so you can use them for other things. If you buy craftsman you get a lifetime warranty. If any ever break just take them to sears and they will directly exchange out in the store no questions asked.

    Got it and it was the correct size. Ended up not being able to get the strut to drop and finally gave up. Sucks but, i needed to get the Jeep back into use
