source for control arm pivot bolt

[Dan S]

Well I've seached and running out of places. I have made calls here in Canada and the US for the front control arm bolts pn# 54436-E4100 and so far no luck, apparently NLA, I have tried Fastenal and Brofasco and have nothing.

Any help would be great.

Well you haven't asked me yet! How many would you like? I'm sure I have at least two extra's. Drop me an email to z240@shaw.ca and we'll get them on the way to you. Suppose you need the nuts too?

Shocking that can't find 14mm x 85mm x 1.5 Gr 10.9 bolts at decent hardware supplier anymore.

What blows me away is that we are supposed to be on the metric system for the last, ahhhhh, 30 or more years, and a place like Brofasco or Fastenal doesn't carry fine thread or a very "limited" stock of anything metric.

Thanks for the offer, I will e-mail you later today, work called just now, they extra hands. Wouldn't happen to know where I can find 40057-21001 steering arm bolt found 1 in North America, 08124-04510 tension arm bolts need 4. I pulled the old and cannot fine a match yet. this is all I need to complete front and rear suspension.

Dan:

Metric supply sucks for sure. I've been tempted a couple of times to order things from McMasterCarr in the US after similiar fruitless searches in Canada.

I'm sure I I have extras of the tension arm and knuckle bolts too. The only "specialized" Z bolt I've ever been able to buy at a Canadian bolt supplier is a spindle pin replacement bolt. They are 5/8 NF Gr9 x 10.5 or 11 inch long I think. Parts cars are heaven for sure, if you can find them.

I'm also looking for front control arm bolts for my 73. The p/n is 54436-E4100. Also need the lock nuts, p/n 08912-E4410 Nissan says they are NLA and BD and MSA don't have them either.

Can anyone suggest where to find these?

Thanks.

Hi,

can I get these bolts still anywhere?
Alternatively, could someone give the dimensions of the bolts?

It was mentioned that it tis a M14x85 bolt.
What's the diameter of the cylindrical part and how long ist the thread?
Thank you.

Maybe it would help if someone posted a picture with the dimensions? I don't have a clue what a "control arm pivot bolt" is. and where it sits in a front suspension... 😉

Europe has them for sure... i think🙊

[dutchzcarguy]

I could look in a service manual... 😴

The image on the zcardepot web page looks like a DIN metric bolt that has an larger hex size on the head and the thread length looks longer. Originals are JIS metric  with a 19mm hex size. The zcardepot ones I'm sure will fit, I just wonder if the overall length is adjusted to compensate for the longer thread length.

One issue with MSA's product, for $10 each set. $50 shipping

Even a USPS small flat rate box is $42.00 to generic a Germany postal code.

(I probably have some used bolts/nuts I could sell)
