Steering shaft coupler bolt
« on: November 07, 2014 - 03:18:58 PM »
Does anyone know where to get the steering shaft coupler bolt? I'm mostly sure that I don't have it in my pile of hardware.

Ok roll pin. My coupler has threads on one side so I figured a bolt went in it makes all the sense to me. So what size roll pin should I get? Is this a trip to Napa deal or one of Mopar's extra special you'll never find another one like it jobs?

 :roflsmiley: So it appears that the threads were made of dirt and grease. I cleaned it to take a pic and now they are gone. So I guess that solves that. Too funny. All this time and I couldn't figure why no bolt would fit.

Okay...A roll pin should be a NAPA thing, or maybe an industrial supply type place :2cents:

Thanks TC. I'll check local stores first. If I strike out I'll grab one of those more for shipping than the part pins. :faint:
