Good afternoon all. I'm beginning to wonder about the length of the wheel bolts on my (probably - don't ask...) R129. As a general principle, about what length of wheel bolt on a car would you expect to actually engage with the threads in the hub?
Hi all.
Anyone got any fixing bolts for the seat rail to the seat box in a 2006 vito? I think they are plain M10 but I can't track down any with a flat enough head!
Also, I need the lower plastic trim for the interior of the B post, both sides. Anyone got any of these?
Thanks!
Hi All,
I can't remove my wheel bolts!! 17mm socket doesn't fit properly (nor does anything else is my socket set).
I managed to get one off with a 17mm socket but not comfortable forcing the socket on the others bolts as it's clearly not the right thing to use.
Anyone come across this...
Hi :D
I've just fitted some lovely new 18's to by C320 Coupe ('53).
Unfortunately, the 'depth' of these aftermarket alloys is much shallower than the standard OEM wheels, and so the original wheel bolts where far to long.
So I got (had to special order) some 30mm bolts & locking...
I have replaced one side of the rear subframe front mount. No problem. I removed the other side, removed the mount, replaced it only to find that the subframe seems to have moved relative to the body so the bolt goes through the mount but will not engage in the chassis.
I have tried crowbars...
I've done a bit of reading up on this however I'm no expert, so I'm hoping someone with the proper knowledge can confirm my understanding is correct (or not as the case may be!)

Hi, The wheel bolts on my CLK are threaded halfway, 20mm threaded and 20mm unthreaded, is it ok to use bolts threaded all the length of the bolt.
I am a bit wary of wheel bolts having had a wheel come off in the past.
Many Thanks.
Perhaps a more technically aware member could advise me:
Car is a 2006 W209 coupe, newly acquired. Wife is complaining that the passenger seat (Manual, only driver side is electric) is too low.
I see the seat runners are fastened to the floor with 4x M10x28 bolts. Can I get a height increase...
booked my car in at mb for tracking set up as it is slightly going to the left and also feels a bit wobbly...the mechanic took it for a quick spin to see the problem and confirmed it needed doing, (2weeks ago I had front pads fitted and also rear tyres)
he said they didn't have camber bolts in...
A very enthusiastic tye fitter strained the locking key, the wheels can still be taken off, I just don't want to chance it failing altogether
As I have Hubcentric wheel spacers on the rear Wheels I need 60mm radios long Locking bolts and I am finding it difficult finding said bolts.
I am selling my nearly new precision CNC machined 20mm Hubcentric wheel spacers with extended radius bolts.
These are PCD 5x112, they have come off my W209 CLK55 AMG but may fit other models, please check to make sure.
I am selling the alloy spacers with the correct extended RADIUS bolts so...
On the basis that there is no point carrying a spare wheel if you can't undo the wheel bolts with the tools carried in the car, I decided to remove all the wheel nuts and tighten them again at something less than gorilla tight. Managed all of the normal wheel bolts and one of the locking bolts...
Hi just went to fit some amg alloys to my 2004 clk and the wheel nuts seems to be too long. Does anyone know what size I would need? The bolts I have at the moment are the standard ones half threads half smooth. Thank you

Help :doh:
Have a 2013 Sprinter chassis Motorhome with nice alloy wheels, BUT the spare is steel. Rumour control has it that the steel wheel needs shorter or different bolts? If that is the case the spare is as much use as a chocolate teapot if I had a puncture as I don't have different...
I've had the tie rod s and track rods changed on my 203 ML today and the garage called me to say they didn't come with the locking nuts just normal ones. All of the different types I've seen online are supplied with normal nuts - are the locking nuts required and if so what are the ones supplied...
