Leaf Spring Bolts

[MiniNick]

Hello everyone.

I have just replaced the rear leaf springs on my van but the front leaf spring bolts (spring to chassis) won't seem to do back up. The nut locks on as soon as it meet the thread, therefore i think i am going to have to replace the nut and bolt but for the life of me i cannot find a part number or replacement bolts on any of the normal websites (autodoc, TPUK etc).

Fords website has a number of different bolts all of which are just called "REAR SPRINGS AND SHOCK ABSORBERS HEX HEAD BOLT" but the front and rear bolts are different sizes none of which is detailed on fords website (also the shock bolts is completely different again). Also they don't seem to sell the nuts either. Link at the bottom

Does anyone have a part number of link to somewhere they are listed to get some new ones? Otherwise i have have to battle the local dealerships parts dept.

Cheers

Nick

Cheers Mark.

Hopefully now I can finish the suspension and move on to the next job that initially seems simple but has some hidden complexity
