I was trying to install the endlinks onto my LCA and I ran into some trouble. The hole where the endlink seems to be enlarged. I followed the Helm's book and it said that the bolt is 10 x 1.25 but 10mm seems way too small. The 10mm bolt goes into the hole, but it does not screw in cause its too small. From what I see, the LCA's hole is threaded but not for a 10mm bolt. The Helm's said it's a 10mm bolt. I tried and the 10mm bolt is too small for the LCA hole. Maybe my LCA got machined bigger hole? Did anyone run into this problem? Or is my LCA different.

 

What year / model teg?
Do you know if the LCAs are oem or aftermarket?
Talking about the rear right?

 

96 DC4, LCA are OEM, Yes the rears

 

It's definitely a 10mm bolt thread. Are you sure you have a bolt with 10mm thread? The bolt head should fit a 14mm socket.

The bolt sizes in the Helms are the THREAD sizes, not the HEAD size. If you're using a bolt with a 10mm head, those only have a 6mm thread diameter. NOT to be used with anything that sees any kind of stress. Those bolts are only used for non-stressed/non-structural connections.
