bump

 

If someone doesn't post the answer by later tonight or early tomorrow I can check the shop manual and will post them size and torque specs. I'm at work right now, otherwise I would check the manual right away.

 

I looked in the shop manual...I can't find it there...maybe I'm missing something

let me know

 

It should be in there section 33. There is one diagram that shows all the bolts and torque specs. I think there is also a section about removing/installing the strut tower brace. That should also have the specs. If you can't find it, I'll try to look it up tonight or tomorrow for you. But, if I do it tonight it will likely be when I'm hammered so who knows what I'll post...

 

Just took a look. It's section 42-12 in the 2006 service manual.

Torque is 32 +/- 4 ft-lbs
Size is 14mm

 

If you get a chance let me know the thread of that bolt too...I need to order a new one...if you can that'd be awesome if you can't...thanks for what you've done so far

Heres another beer to get plastered off of...

 

Sorry man, don't have a clue on the thread

Off to get a few more of these than out for the night

no driving of course

 

I guess no DSMrs read this board anymore...

Mitsu uses 4 bolts on 99% of the car:

10mm head 6mm 1.00mm pitch
12mm head 8mm 1.25mm pitch
14mm head 10mm 1.25mm pitch
17mm head 12mm 1.25mm pitch

There are exceptions but that's the general rule. I'd bet a blown 14B that your bolt is 14mm head 10mm 1.25mm pitch. I have helicoils in all 4 sizes...

 

go to dealer and ask them
