So my car felt a little less stable the other day, so I jacked it up and it ends up the nut came off my front swaybar endlink. I know it is a 17mm, but I need to know if anybody knows the thread diameter and pitch. I know since its a 17mm its gotta be a M10 or M12 diameter but no idea on the pitch (1.25 or something).

Some help would be most crucial, thanks.

 

Pretty sure it's a M12x1.25

 

Yep sure is.

You guys will like how i figured it out ... I took a M12x1.75 at work and put it on a M12x1.5 and it would thread .5 turns before it binded, then did the same thing on a M12x1.25 and it went .25 turns before it binded. I came home with my M12x1.75 and saw how far it would go before the bind...what do you know .25 turns, so I just went out and bought a couple M12x1.25.

 

While we're on this subject, does anyone know what the size is for the one nut on the sway bar clamping bracket? I somewhat stripped one of the nuts and I need to replace it. I believe it's a 14mm but don't know the thread and pitch either. Thanks.

 

This is a good time to put some loctite on there. My front bar comes loose every so often even with loctite but I've never had a problem with the rear. It usually makes some noise indicating that something is loose. Thus far that has been enough warning that I need to squeeze under the car to tighten things up.
