Front drop link thread size

Post by mlhs »

Anyone know what the thread size is for the bolts on the drop links? I need a replacement nut. Had some suspension work done and the garage were lazy and used cheap drop links off a second set of struts I had, instead of using the originals as I asked. The ones I'm putting back on have a hex key in the middle, are these original Toyota? I've managed to change the n/s fairly quickly but having trouble removing the o/s atm so going to tackle it with a drill/ grinder.

But the garage have also last a nut for the originals hence needing thread/bolt size for a new nut.

Thanks

Both Toyota and some aftermarket droplinks use a hex in the middle of the stud.

Normal thread is M10 x 1.25, but that is no guarantee for yours.

Ok thanks Peter, I'll take the drop link with me to check, but at least that's a starting point.
