Hi guys,

Ive bought a few metric nuts for my ball joints, but they dont fit. I presuming I need imperial nuts, but if anyone can suggest which nuts I need i would be grateful.

Cheers,
Theo

if they really are imperial, they'll be unf i'd imagine.

are you sure it's not that they're a fine metric thread?

both are common on balljoints, but you can use a bolt of standard pitch but smaller diameter to check the thread pitch.

m6x1
m8x1.25
m10x1.5
m12x1.75

Try M12x1.5 Metric Fine.
Thats what mine is.
