replace steering stop bolt...93 XJ????
i have one steering stop bolt that has since left the building, so i
rub at fullturn one way, other is fine....anyone know what size bolt this is? i know i need a nut to replace the welded on nut on the original part, but without taking the one bolt out...i'm going to try this tonight, but i know it's been in there for awhile, and i don't think soaking it in PB is going to help much (already doing that for a few days) so anyone know the right size bolt? is it metric? 5/16 is too small, 3/8 is too big, so i'm thinking metric...and how long? 1 1/2 inch? |

It isn't metric. Off the top of my head, I thought it was 3/8". But if it
isn't, I guess it would be 11/32nds. Mine had to be drilled out and was replaced with a helicoil and 9mm.

That would be a really odd size for a bolt, even with our primitive

Take the other one to the store. Eye balling it, it looks like a
9/16 wrench would fit it therefore: it's a 3/8", 16 thread national course: http://www.4x4wire.com/jeep/tech/ste...top/steer2.jpg God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O mailto:-------------------- http://www.----------.com/ Joe wrote: > > i have one steering stop bolt that has since left the building, so i > rub at fullturn one way, other is fine....anyone know what size bolt > this is? i know i need a nut to replace the welded on nut on the > original part, but without taking the one bolt out...i'm going to try > this tonight, but i know it's been in there for awhile, and i don't > think soaking it in PB is going to help much (already doing that for a > few days) > > so anyone know the right size bolt? is it metric? 5/16 is too small, > 3/8 is too big, so i'm thinking metric...and how long? 1 1/2 inch? |
