[//no.comment]

hey,
I appear to be missing one of these bolts (on the other side i just cant find a pic of that bit)

Does anyone know what size bolt it is i cant seem to find it anywhere?

it holds the nearside damper on

Shock absorber mounting bolt.......
Dont know the size but they are about £1.50 each from most specailists. Check all the others are tight and that the locking tabs are holding them tight. I wouldnt drive over too many speed bumps intil you fit a new one

If they sheer off this area is a main structural area and a difficult place to repair properly.

Ah ive found it now!

Thanks for that ive been looking all evening and couldn't find one, but now i find it straight away!

The car isnt on the road at the moment, and I bought it missing this, i sure hope it isnt sheered off!

worst case scenario, has anyone repaired one that is sheered off?

Thanks

If it is sheered off then you will have to remove the Damper (the spring absorbs the shocks the damper smothes out the occillation) If you are lucky there will be enough of the bolt showing to get a wrench on to it. If its sheared level with the bulkhead then you will have to try an extractor.

Make sure all the others are done up tight - and indeed - hope that one isn't sheared off!
