Boro Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Does anyone know the part number for the nut that goes with the bolt that holds the lower spring plate to the axle on a 1995 300 tdi as i cant seem to find the nut at all in the online catalogues or in the dealers microcat cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipx2 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 There is no nut. The bolt screws into the corresponding threaded hole of the axle bracket. Anyway, the thread is M10 so any regular M10 nut from your local nuts and bolts shop will do if you're going to weld it or a lock nut if it doesn't need to be welded.

Boro Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Theres nuts there, 2 nylocs each side, strange thing is the shocks look original and dont look to have been off before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipx2 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Then go and buy M10 nylocs from any N&B shop. The parts catalog doesn't show any nuts there and I also don't recall seeing any loose nuts there but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipx2 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Even if they are for the rear axle (front axle is the same thing), both 8th picture here: http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=19718 and 13th picture here: http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=19718 show that the nuts are somehow fixed (welded or spot welded) to the bracket.

Les Henson Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Should be a weld nut as Cipx2 says, but an M10 nut will be fine (bit fiddly to get at though). Originally the bolts are M10 x 1.5 x 25mm. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
