I already tried looking on ecs, didn't see it. Would it be something I cab find at a hardware store or something? Only way I could free the bolt was with an air hammer and they're horribly warped now. Anybody know how to help me out?

look harder :P

 

Got mine at www.germanautoparts.com

 

If you're talking about a pinch bolt for the upper control arms in the front, I actually got one at autozone. Its the same as an alternator bolt for a GM. I can't remember the thread exactly, I think M10x1.5 and it was 105mm long. Was the exact same thing, I swear by it. Plus its only a couple bucks there and they normally keep them in stock, instead of having to order one and wait for shipping


edit: found a link to exactly what I was talking about

As long as its the same grade bolt hardness-wise, that's a good find.

 

thred and what not doesn't matter as long as you get a nut that fits. the only thing that does matter is grade like thedevil said

 

I just go to an audi dealer and pay like $6 a bolt rather than wait.

 

Thanks for the replies!

 

let me refer you to a thread i started. i turly believe this is the answer to the pinch bolt. do yourself a favor and read through it. and i do plan on updating it every time i remove them https://www.audiforums.com/forum/b5-...ce-all-175929/
