URGENT suspension bolt
The two bolts that hold the front shock assembly to the front control arm/ I need a replacement bolt for the long one. It's the 17mm bolt. Where can I find this? Mazda has to special order it and it will take a week. I need it today! :blush:

take one out and bring it with you to a hardware store. Match the size and the threads (they'll "sink" into each other if they match) and buy a washer. probably m14x1.5, but don't quote me
|
+1 on the hardware store.
|
I always just go to the hardware store..
|
I thought about that but it's a weird bolt. I'll try it. Worse case I'll just have to wait for the new bolt.
|
I recently had to order one off the net cause it was not availible locally, it is a strange size.
|
Make sure you buy the proper grade of bolt, too, as well as size. Never use low-grade hardware for critical applications, like suspension.

Like Divin Driver stated. You MUST get the same grade bolt. There is a reason for it.

Also, the bolts are cadmium plated
|
Napa has it in grade 8.
|
I compared it to the lug bolt and it was the same thread pitch.
