Balljoint Pinch Bolts..

[kate205gti 4]

does anyone know where to get balljoint pinch bolts from that dont need posting? ie: any motor factors sell them?

does anyone have the dimensions for them please? I need to ideally get them today!!

cheers

Peugeot dealers often have them in stock (or atleast, certainly my local one does)

 

Don't forget to replace the nyloc nut while you're there!

[welshpug 1,678]

from memory they're 50mm long M10 bolt,

 

the original part number is 6923 96 which is 85p, superseeded by 6291 91 (£2.68!) which is a 55mm bolt used for many other things right across the range for quite different applications.

 

The nut is 3622 30, 68p.

 

don't forget Citroen

 

make sure they sell you a bolt not a setscrew, have seen that before from a dealer which is not right as it isn't fit for purpose.

my peugeot dealer is proper useless the only good one has since shut down!

 

cheers, is it the same part number for citroen do you know - will give them a try!

[welshpug 1,678]

yeah they have used that part number.

 

just looked under the C15 van which is mostly base model 205 front end and the part number for that is 4010 86, 59p, same part number for the nut.

I noticed that they have been replaced with 692191, but those are threaded along their entire length, which is odd. Its definetly what all the models use now, but surely the old ones with the non-threaded part are better!?

Ive just ordered one of these

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180685747515

PART NUMBERS 692396 & 362230

 

which are the same part numbers as welshpug quoted they've put them in the post now and hopefully Baz has posted the ones I ordered off him now so fingers crossed one of them will turn up in the morning just before the re-test!

If it's an emergency temporary fix, Screwfix sell M10 bolts with a plain shank (what you want) but they're only Grade 8.8 so shouldn't really be used for hammering around. If it's just for a couple of days you'll be fine, and you can get a pack of them for under a fiver.

Aren't the standard Peugeot ones only 8.8 grade from memory, with the high-tensile ones being sold either 10.9 or 12.9 depending on the seller?

The higher tensile ones will also require a higher torque figure to 'lock' the threads iirc.

The new ones (With thread all the way along - 692191) are 10.9, not sure on the old ones, 8.8 seems to ring a bell though.

Old ones are 10.9, or all of mine have been anyway!

 

I don't think you require a higher fastening torque to lock the threads, more that they can withstand higher torques (and clamp loads) due to the higher tensile strength.

i just went to screwfix to see what they had - apparantly they only sell tem in packs of 50

 

ahh well will be handy for something and do as a stop gap until the real one arrives!

Old original OE ones should be, but PUg seem to have a habit of supplying 8.8's or the wrong bolts altogether it seems!

Don't use those nuts though! You need a nyloc! & yes i've posted the HT ones hopefully to be with you in the morning!!

[Rippthrough 98]

8.8's are fine at the standard Pug torque ratings tbh.
