Steering arm socket
« on: July 16, 2006 - 04:08:33 PM »
Anybody know where I can get a 1/2" drive socket for the steering arm nut on my Challenger?  I think it's a 1-9/32".
Or... i welcome ANY ideas on getting that thing back on !

Do you have a "Tractor Supply" in your area? Also Napa Auto Parts carries lots of tools

Have both Bullitt, and I admit I didn't look there but other places I thought would have it, don't, like Home depot, Harbor Freight, Sam & Jakes to name a few.

I have used a BIG cresent wrench before, it would be an option if you can not find a socket.

Thanks Barry, That looks like what I'll have to do I think cause I've come up with nothing so far.

Sears hardware/tool stores have them. Also Harbor Freight or Cummins tool stores.
