Are the threads for the nut on track rod ball joints a normal thread? I replaced the boots at weekend but didn't have new nuts to hand ( tried an m10 but too small) II now got some m12 which look the right size but once it's on a few threads it doesn't want to go any more, don't want to damage the thread if its the wrong nut.....
Ooh ooh hazelnuts Dont know then, I'll just reuse the old nu then, thought it was better to use a new nyloc. Presume it should have a washer? Didn't have one before bit think I saw one one on a diagram
M12x1.5mm Nyloc, I think Normal M12 threads have a 1.75mm thread pitch, which is why your standard M12 nut wouldn't fit. JK (and others) sell them, but you may get them cheaper at a decent hardware or fastener supplier. http://www.justkampers.com/n90-321-...1-5-vw-t2-bay-1967-1979-vw-t25-1979-1992.html
