Rear toe link nut size

[Stangfan78]

I’m installing Steeda rear toe links and I lost the nut for the bolt that holds the end at the knuckle. Does anyone know the size of the nut? I’m trying to find one locally before I call Steeda. I checked Home Depot but nothing they had fit.

Do you still need help with this? I may have those bolts as spares with which I can check the thread spec.

But if you have an Ace hardware nearby, and if it is as well-stocked with fasteners as is mine, then I suggest you take your bolt down there and find a matching nut.

Honestly, if it was me, I would order the OEM nut from a dealer, or online. It has the washer head, nylok insert, and geomet material (all at a price).

Thanks for the response. I was able to find one.

And since I bought toe-links second hand from a friend without hardware do you mind sharing the correct size I know the bolt should be 14 mm as I bought new bolts from Ford but OEM toe links have nuts in them while steeda don't ?

I’m pretty sure it’s a high grade M14 (standard pitch) plated nyloc flange nut.

Spanner size is unimportant if you are buying non OE, but I seem to recall my OE nuts being 22mm.

Side note : if you have the standard rubber toe link / knuckle bush, it’s very important to clock it. I dropped about 6mm per side from clocking that bush alone

I'm replacing that with FP one and doing Steeda Toe Links at the same time as my rubber ones are torn. Will see in my local hardware store if I can find such a nut.

Bolts yes but they don't sell a nut for the knuckle to toe link which is the nut I'm after will see hardware store.

M14x2.0 My MMR new toe links didn't even come with those nuts. Ordered flanged yellow zinc ones from Belmetric.com.

Doesn't the nut for the ecentric bolt work HN1 ? it's M14x1.5 and it's locked to the same 129 ft-lbs so I assume it will work :?

1.5 is not compatible with 2.0 (thread pitch)

Reuse your existing eccentric bolt and nut. The M14x2.0 nut is to replace the nut that is welded to the factory toe link.

Ok so the nut for the eccentric bolt and the nut for the knuckle bolt are different size got it. Does anyone know if ford sell an M14x2.0 nut then ?

If M14 x 2 is correct, eBay item number 185758496322 :

the PP toe links don't have a nut and is integrated like you mentioned. Non PP toe links have a bolt and a nut
