welshpug 1,737 Posted September 15, 2013 Iirc, m12 x 1.25 nope, 1.5! could have just measured a bolt of course, very easy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jord294 97 Posted September 15, 2013 If I had a bolt in work with me, I would of measured it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jord294 97 Posted September 15, 2013 How do you that mmcgtk was asking about the caliper bolt thread mei? Are you psychic? My answer was for the wheel bolt threads! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petert 641 Posted September 15, 2013 That's strange. All the hubs I've seen are M12x1.25. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,737 Posted September 15, 2013 oh right, lol. most people call the complete assembly the hub, if you mean the drive flange that the wheel bolts go into, that is indeed 1.25 pitch as Andy posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmcgtk 2 Posted September 15, 2013 sorry I didn't really make that clear.. but it is the hub flange i.e wheel bolt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,650 Posted September 15, 2013 Wheel bolts are 12x1.25, caliper bolts are 12x1.5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petert 641 Posted September 16, 2013 sorry I didn't really make that clear.. but it is the hub flange i.e wheel bolt Perfectly clear. You said "hubs", not "front swivel pins". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,650 Posted September 16, 2013 Most folk tend to call the complete front upright "hubs", OK strictly speaking the "hub" is the circular piece that the wheel mounts to, the bit the caliper bolts to I would call a "hub carrier". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allanallen 528 2 Cars Posted September 16, 2013 Petert, you're new found pedantism makes some of your old threads somewhat confusing? http://forum.205gtidrivers.com/index.php?showtopic=115728 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted September 16, 2013 Hub carrier, Swivel pin, Upright, Steering knuckle, I'm sure there are more terms. According to wikipedia simply 'hub' is correct - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering_knuckle In automotive suspension, a steering knuckle is that part which contains the wheel hub or spindle, and attaches to the suspension components. It is variously called a steering knuckle, spindle, upright or hub, as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
