Checked the master list but it's not on there.

I replaced my Front Left Lower Ball joint and found that my bolts and the nuts are stripped and I don't want them flying off when I'm drifting next weekend.

Does any one have the Size/Length/Thread pitch for these things?

SHoudl I be looking for s specific type due to sheer forces applied to these?

 

i need this specs too..

the sooner the better

 

if they are stripped, why not drill and tap them one size larger? That is the way to do it without using cheezy thread repair anyway.

 

i hit a curb and ripped the tie rod end so i replaced that then i realize the lower ball joint bolt connecting the ball joint to the control arm was gone so i need the specs so i can get a new one thats why i need the specs on the bolt

sorry to sorta thread jack

 

I went to home depot and got some bolts

I used a 2 ish inch length 12m x1.75 thread pitch bolt which was threaded half way down and then solid near the head.

 

ya but how do you know if the bolts the right grade so your not going through a turn and have it snap on you

 

They ended up being Class 8.8 which equates to Grade 5.

I'm going to Ace Hardware during my lunch to find some Class 10.9(Grade8) bolts.

 

ok thanks let me know the exact specs when you get a chance
