Top ball joint (transit) thread size
locoboy - 26/8/06 at 05:08 PM

I have lost the nut used for holding my top ball joint (transit) to my mushroom adaptor.

Can anyone confirm the thread size of it?

istr its m18x1.5, but best wait for confirmation.

i think its a fine thread, not a standard one a when i thought i'd lost mine a standard one i had wouldn't fit it - luckily i found it again

Yes Conrod its the nyloc, the one that holds the joint to the mushroom adapter.

I have tried an M12 on it and i get about 3/4 of a turn and it jams up, threads on nut and shank seem undamaged, it looks to be a finer pitch to me.

Or take a trip to my ford dealer.
