Default fitting 4wd front struts to 2wd cars, what bits?!

i have fitted 4wd front struts to a 2wd car before but cant remember what hubs i used, possibly 5 stud granada ones with sierra 4 stud centres?!?!

anyone else done this?

help appreciated as i got £700 worth of brand new koni/eibach stuff sitting here.

i dont wanna sell them as id have to pay another £700 to replace them for what i want

Cheers in advance

Assuming it's a cossie ?, you won't mate the larger diameter 4wd legs with the smaller hole 2wd hubs, just swap to 4wd cossie hubs is easiest way.
The rears are easy as the only difference is the bottom mounting eye is longer/wider on the 4wd, simply cut 1/4" off each end of the "tube" fit straight on then.
