Anyone know what the bolt size (length, size, pitch, etc.) the bolts that go through the bushing end of the TC Rods is. I'm getting nuts/bolts tomorrow morning for the install tomorrow night and have the specs on the bolts for the other end, but I wanted to at least replace the nuts on the main bushing end (if not both the nut and the bolt). By the way it's for the SPL pillowball TC Rods for an S13 DOHC.

Thanks in advance,Bryan

it doesn't really matter what pitch it is just buy the right length and correct nut to go with it and you'll be fine.

and don't forget that the right diameter is also needed. the bolt keeps the rod firmly in place, which means it needs for the bolt to be snuggly packed inside it. If the SPL part uses the stock bolt, you'd be best to find a local junkyard and grab a pair of bolts.

I don't know if your local yards have any S13s in them, but we have one down here that has two S13s sitting collecting dirt, and I believe they still have their TC rods in place.

btw, why are you replacing them? those bolts don't normally fail very easily. If you're worried, just rethread them, and retap the nuts that go with them
