lower left shock bolt - from hardware store?
03/22/09 at 17:08:06
I had the please of snapping my lower left shock mount bolt this evening - I was checking out the fiche and it looks to be smooth with threads juts at the end, is this a size that can be found at the hardware store or will I need to get one from the dealer? or someone here?
Figured I would throw the question out there as I am sure I am not the only one who has done it - better in the carport than on the road i guess!

You might be able to .....
Take the remains along and see or the right side bolt. Oh yes, It's metric....

It's a special bolt, with a shoulder on it and a short length of threads.

You mean a $pecial bolt, right? I'd have no idea where to find a bolt like that except maybe from a junkyard or dealer.

14 mm. i couldn't find one to fit exactly. 1/2" was too small. 9/16th just barely too big. Good luck finding a 17/32" or 14mm unless you want to buy a box of 500.

Even if I could find the bolt at the hardware store, I'd check the hardness carefully.
I consider a shock bolt to be a critical application.
