Found a problem need help

[Jhonda]

I went to install my steeda bushing and alignment kit and found that I am missing a strut bolt but on the front drivers side. Does anyone know what size but I need?

I found them on some websites for the replacement but I would like to know the size(thread pitch metric or standard grade). I have access to quality fasteners through work but just need to know what to get.

thanks yall

Not sure of the size but I do know it is metric.

Just slip metric wrenches over the thread until you find the diameter.

Or check the other side of your car and use that one for a sample.

Why not get the replacement from Ford so you know you’re getting the right grade hardware?

Also, that, my friends, is why these strut to spindle bolts are splined. If the bolt had fallen this would have been worse.

I can get up to a grade 12.9

OEM nut can't be too much and then you could use it to to determine the size and thread pitch you need for the upgraded hardware. Then you have a spare as a back up should something so unfortunate happen again.

You need to learn the difference between a nut and a bolt first.

Don't confuse the boy it's a round thingy with little groves thingies going around. He can get grade 12.9, round with grove thingies

DRKHORS > OEM, got to be kidding, it's a flange nut ....thingy
