uJoint bolts... where can you get them???

Unread post by ChrisD »

The recent SYE kit and drive shaft did not come with the extra 4 uJoint bolts needed to finish the install. Besides Lou's where can I buy these, just the bolts (m8 1.0)??

Most any parts stores that carry U-joints . If your yoke is the type that the bolts go all the way through then you need to buy a washer for each and use lock nuts also ! FjR68

Most CV driveshafts use SAE 5/16" fine thread bolts. Any decent autoparts store should have what you need (reduced head with a shoulder)

For the short term, pull your front driveshaft and steal the bolts at the t-case yoke to mount up the rear!
You can't bolt on experience!!!!!!

I'm surprised they didn't come w/ the DS. Make sure you get grade 8 if you buy them at a local store... A "good" hardware store may have them, or possibly a good auto parts store. The dealer may not because the fixed yoke isn't OE.

Ask for front bolts at the dealer.
