Hi all,

Well if you've seen in my other thread below i'm trying to replace my camber arms and having trouble with the nut on one of them. By any chance does anyone here know the thread pattern of of these? I called the stealership and they don't even have a clue (can't believe i thought they would know) TIA for your info!

 

why would you need the thread pattern for? O.o

 

i am guessing you got the nut off?take the bolt back to home depot and find a nut that fits thats all. f the stealership.

 

never mind.. just read your other thread..

question.. is the arm off yet? just get the thing off and buy a new nut and bolt at the dealer.. its in PITA to find a new one else where..

also lastly to comment on your other thread.. get a big breaker bar and handle the nut.. since it sounds like you've already stripped it..

edit: take off the otherside and measure the thread pattern if the one you took if is already beaten to hell..

Breaker bar definitely helps. Leverage is a crazy and powerful thing.

 

Simpson - Actually I didn't get a chance yet to try your method yet. Something came up...

Klumzyee - Yeah you're absolutely right! PITA! Even the stealership has to special order the piece. and yeah the nut is stripped... I was actually thinking of going with a regular nut but that may not be safe

Meatshackle - only thing is...it's hard to get leverage since the nuts behind the rotor but don't worry i will try...sigh...the things us DIY'ers go through..hahah

Thanks guys for the suggestions and help...At this point, i keep getting stopped from performing this job so I'll just make a trip out to the stealership and pony up money for a new nut and put this on hold...

But if anyone happens to know the thread pattern kindly advise. Thanks!
