Source for ribbed neck carriage bolt?

[AndrewBird]

I need a few of these:


They are the bolts that hold on the sway bar link on my IX. Real OEM doesn't list them as a separate part and I'm having trouble finding them on their own in metric. They are M8 and about 28mm long. Anyone now where I can get them?

Already tried the usual places, McMaster, Fastenal, etc.

Thanks!

I work for a company that builds agricultural trailers, and I will try to see if the company that supplies us can get anything like that. They're local here in Boise, but we have a Service shop in Vancouver, so getting them over to you (assuming they could source some) wouldn't be a big deal.

Those same screws hold on the rear bumper shock on the late models. I just checked realoem and it looks like a standard fit bolt- however on my '88 the bolt you're looking for was definitely installed there (from under the rear bumper, by the exhaust bracket- they bolted through the shock mount)

Maybe this will help you out a bit!

It's not a condom. It's a stud.

Awesome, thanks!

I'll have to look into that.

Yes, that's me. I just had my SN changed to my actual name, that's all.

Andrew, these are used on strut mounts and i tend to press them out and save them if they are nice.

Do you need them to be new?

I have 6 that are in good shape and about 38mm total length, 8.87mm diameter at the splines, fully threaded. Let me know if you are interested.
