Rear shocks grease nipple clunk fix
For those who have carried out this fix, what size grease nipple did you use?
Need to do this job myself and with the myriad of nipple sizes don't want to get some which will go too deep into the strut body
Cheers

When I did this I just cut nipples to the right length. That way you can do then up so their shoulder sits against the strut and is secure. I also threadlocked them in place. Worked great.

OK, thanks
I've seen these 10mm x 1mm (M10) 45 Degree Hydraulic Grease Nipples. Would they do the job do you think?
