#1: Rear shock bolt Author: JE_180, Location: WiltshirePosted: Tue Aug 09, 2011 11:47 am ---- Heeeyyyyy youuuuu guyyyysssss,
I kinda need a new rear shock absorber bolt (bottom one) as it has started to round the head off when trying to loosen and tighten it, and now it is completely stuck so I have about 6-7mm of freeplay on the bolt....
I'm unsure of where I can get the proper bolt? and what thread type it is etc? The bolt has a 21mm head and is 14mm wide and is approximately 145mm long.
Cheers.

Yeah I've just been browsing for some actually, cheers for the help
#12: Re: Rear shock bolt Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Aug 09, 2011 12:00 pm ---- how did you manage to round it off btw?
Nope, just too strong for French cars obviously... nah the bolt is in such s**t condition I think where I've loosened it off to the point of where the rust is it's just gotten stuck and won't go any further.
#14: Re: Rear shock bolt Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Aug 09, 2011 12:16 pm ---- WD-40 and power tools time.
I've used over 450ml of WD40 on the car today lol. I'll be ordering new nuts and bolts for the shocks and then I'll cut the old ones off. Sorted
#16: Re: Rear shock bolt Author: 00budham00, Location: IpsPosted: Tue Aug 09, 2011 12:40 pm ---- New bolts sound the way forward I think I'll get some too
#17: Re: Rear shock bolt Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Tue Aug 09, 2011 2:57 pm ---- Just incase anyone wants I have some spare you can have for a few quid, think they come in at least a pack of 2 or 3 and I only used one.
#18: Re: Rear shock bolt Author: JE_180, Location: WiltshirePosted: Wed Aug 10, 2011 9:14 am ---- Went to the local Fixings shop today and got a M14 x 120mm Bolt & Nut for £1. Did the job perfectly. Will be changing all 4 this weekend for new ones.

what grade are they
OEM use 6.0 grade and peugeot sport use 8.8 grade.
if the bolts is ungraded then i wouldn't use it.

#21: Re: Rear shock bolt Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Wed Aug 10, 2011 1:12 pm ---- When it comes to shock absorber bolts I think anything other than the ones designed for the job is a bit stupid

if they are good grade then is fine.
peugeot sport run normal allen head bolt+ 2x washer+nut set up.
Fair enough I will bear that for next time, I thought about it when I needed one but just it was best getting the proper one for the proper job.
#25: Re: Rear shock bolt Author: JE_180, Location: WiltshirePosted: Wed Aug 10, 2011 1:36 pm ---- Would 12.9 Grade be a little OTT? I prefer the Allen Cap bolts to the hex bolts I have anyway so could I upgrade them all to 12.9 allens without a problem?

see my reply above
at least 6.0.
no harm to use higher grade but it just cost you more
What a retarded and useless comment. Well done you.

It's the parts mans problem of finding the part numbers. Just tell him what you want and let him find the part numbers. Don't forget you need boths nuts and bolts.
Some tools that don't round off the nuts would be a good investment too.
Standard bolts are more than adequate for all road cars.
