Kingpin lower nut 1970 280SL
« on: July 06, 2010, 13:42:31 »
Does anybody know the thread pattern on the Kingpin? I have damaged the threads on the lower nut, but replacement only comes as an expensive set of nut, bushes etc. All I need is to get a new nut, which I can do if I know the thread.
Thanks

Hello,

The nut is M14 X 1.50      Be sure to use the lock plate to make sure it does not come loose on its own!
