g-reg Member 5 Member For: 16y 5m 29d Posted 21/06/08 07:16 AM Share Posted 21/06/08 07:16 AM I was having a look at replacing my wheel bearings when I noticed a large nut/bolt thingy just sitting on a steering arm.Any idea where it belongs? Its a pretty big sucker (35-36mm) with 25 stamped on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing it didnt fall off while driving though. I would have thought the first bump would send it flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-reg Member 5 Member For: 16y 5m 29d Posted 22/06/08 12:18 AM Author Share Posted 22/06/08 12:18 AM yeah especially considering its been from adelaide to melbourne 6 times with it there.Got quoted $180 per side from Autobarn for genuine ford ones, but found some genuine ones off ebay ages ago for $120ish from a ford dealer who was doing a stock clearout.
