Anybody know the diameter of the rear shaft on a KYB AGX strut?

Thanks!

You need to reword that sentence so it makes sense. I assume that you are asking for the diameter of the shaft on a KYB AGX rear shock?

(the strut is the front unit)

 

Yes, I meant the rear one, but I believe it is still a strut. A shock is just a damper without a spring, a strut is the entire assembly (of the type with a coil on it).

Anyway, if somebody needs to search for this in the future, the diameter of the rear strut shaft is 12.5 mm.

The front strut shaft diameter is 22.5 mm I believe. I will edit this if I am incorrect.

 

Common misconception. A strut is a part of a strut suspension, usually a McPherson strut design. The strut is a locating/structural member of the suspension, whereas a shock/damper is not. The strut assembly contains a shock as one of it's components.

So on the FC we have a strut in front and a shock in the rear. The FD and the Miata, on the other hand, have shocks on all four corners.

The coil-over part is separate.
