Hey guys, are all of the nuts on the AU metric, imperial or both? specifically the suspension components (lower strut etc) can anyone tell me off the top of their head whether the lower strut bolt 22mm requires a deep socket? or a normal one will do the job? Have a great Easter. Serge.

I've never come across anything that wasn't metric. That is of course not to say that none exist, but I doubt it.
Cheers, GK

the 302 engine still have imperial gear in them as they are US, especially internal components, however most bolt ons are metric. body wise everything is metric.

Lower strut bolt should be fine with a standard 22 MM socket, without the expense of a deep reach one
