idosubaru Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 no i don't know. 1.25 pitch it's a 12 or 14mm bolt head (i think 12). not sure about the bolt size though...probably an M10 1.25, just a hunch. they're cheap, just buy a size or two up or down? another easy solution is just to try a couple other bolts from the car that aren't necessary and when you find the right thread that works take it to the store with you and get one to match. hardware stores have the little hanging do-dads to tell you what thread pitch a bolt is you bring in. all the bolts that size on the entire car are 1.25 pitch and they only use standard sizes, so others will fit.

ericem Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Be careful with that bolt. When I removed mine, the damn bolt snapped. Still need to drill mine out. Been driving with no bolt head and a bad balljoint with a broken boot for a little while now on the wagon. The bolt basially sits in a contoured part of the balljoint, but I guess it does pinch it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
