So i had crash bolts installed during my coilover install. I was wondering, what exactly is holding together the strut to the wheel bearing piece? If the hole in both the strut and the wheel bearing is 16mm, but the crash bolt is 14mm, what is holding the two in place? I get the clamping force is holding the bolt to the strut, but how is the strut being held to the wheel bearing piece if the bolt is smaller than both holes?
