DIY OEM 43136-60020 Strut Spacers

[ArnieC]

I wasn't about to shell out $80 for two flat pieces of metal so I made my own. Had them cut out on a waterjet out of 3/8" (9.5mm) mild steel plate. Dimensions are based off measuring my strut hat, not a copy of the OEM spacers so dimensions may vary slightly. They dropped in and worked perfect. Could probably have gone with 1/2" if you wanted to bring the front up level with the rear unloaded but you might end up with some stinkbug stance when you are loaded.

Attached are the pics and a JPG of the print, if anyone wants the CAD PM me with an email address. If anyone wants to take this to your local laser guy and crank these out for $10 and sell them for $40/pair have at it, just send me some free swag.

Looks good but the OEM ones have a notch on the bottom oriented towards the inside of the car to allow water to drain I think.

Good point, easy enough to add one with an angle grinder if so desired.

The little notch will get clogged with dirt and road debris quickly anyway. I make it a point to blast the top of the strut mount when washing the truck.. not even sure if it makes a difference but it gives me the warm fuzzies.
