Strut rod roll pin

[txchallenger]

anyone know where to get a couple of roll pins that go on the strut rods.
I don't have a clue what I did with my old ones.

1/8"x 1" pin I believe. Bought a couple at the local hardware store recently.

when i did my front end i found a roll pin kit,,had all different sizes in it, includeing the ones i needed for the struts,,of course i had a use for the hole kit in my job,,different hardware stores sell different size roll pins and you should be able to find them easy,,may be an auto parts store,,you proably dont need a kit like i bought,,here is a link on ebay of new ones

Think I'll try a hardware or auto parts first. $14.25 seems kinda expensive for 2 pins

Thanks guys

If you don't have a decent hardware store, check with Tractor Supply.

yes you should be able to find them cheaper than ebay..try lowes or home depot if you have nothing local as far as hardware stores

I have had difficulty finding them in the past , they are an uncommon size

1/8"x 1" pin I believe. Bought a couple at the local hardware store recently.

 Thanks for the offer.  The pins I have are .132 initial OD. The bore on the strut appears to be about .120. I remember they were a pain to remove too, what dimensions are you referencing?

We have a tractor supply right around the corner also autozone and a Oreilly auto parts. I'll make it to one of them friday. If I cannot find the correct one I'll take you up on your offer.
thanks..........

 Found one of the originals that came from my Challenger and it measures .126 vs the .132 for a "standad" 1/8" roll pin. Maybe it had compressed or it is indeed an off size as Chryco mentioned.

They are oddball size folks. Hard to find. Don't know if one could drill out the strut rod a little. Even hardened steel will go out a little if you turn the drill slow and use a lubricant like WD40 to cool the bit. I am going to use split cotter pins like the front wheel bearings use. Only there to stop the nut from backing out.

[txchallenger]

Found some at Tractor Supply. They mic out at .124" across the split and .131 at 90* to the split.
I'm guessing they will compress. I'll try them this evening.

Its been a couple of years, but I think the roll pin has a Mopar part # and is available from a dealership parts dept.

Good call , I never tried Mopar for them
