Looking to by a S.O.A.B. control arm bolt - mine was seized in the hub and had to be cut and then pressed out.

 

(long grade 10 bolt with the notch that goes through the wheel hub and the two flanges of the control arm)

ALSO, i need an INNER metal sleeve for GNT's awesome poly bushing that is going into my ride due to the whole sawing off the bolt process. Here are some pics.

Nothing is more precise than a digital plastic HF caliper.

I had to do the same to mine years ago but I was able to save the spacers. Stedebani used to sell replacement bolts...not sure if GNT is offering these now or not. Have you checked to see if they are still available thru Mitsu? May be best to try a post in the items wanted forums.

Thanks guys!

 

Ran across google for PN: MU140007 and you are right kev, looks like some dealer sites have it listed so I'll need to check availibility - thanks

 

I saw Greg and Tye's listing, their stuff is top notch, but I can't justify the cost of those without exploring my other options.

 

That would be great if you do have the bolt Jeff! I am in Illinois for a few more weeks so not local right now, I don't think it would be feasible for me to send you the spacer the be repaired haha. PM'd

I know some people has a few stock bolts up for sale. May want to search. And I know our bolts are expensive. But the machining of a grade 10.9 bolt isn't cheap so we have to have the price where it is. Sorry. And the steel sleeve provided is for the one you cannot reuse. I'm not certain of the size you cut but perhaps that one that is not reused can be trimmed to fit?

No need to apologize, I think it is a fair and reasonable price. At this rate I may end up getting a set hah. I thank you for the offerings you have for our cars!

 

I'll see about the throw away sleeve, thanks for the idea!
