I'm looking for a lower subframe bolt, and I can't seem to find them anywhere. The motorcycle shops don't have them (or can't find them... they don't put forth any effort) and non of the auto shops seem to have them either. My local dealership might have them, but they are 3 hours away and so far they wouldn't ever send me any parts. Can any of you hook me up with this bolt?

 

Look for MAZmx248, over at www.cannondaler.com. He might have what you need.

 

I had the same thing happen and I had to make my own from a metric stainless bolt and a brass bushing I milled out to lide over the bolt and still fit in the sub frame hole, it was a real b!tch losing that one.

 

Would it be a bad idea to just use a bolt that's threaded all the way down?

What could happen if I did that?

 

EZ-RIDE has them bolts.

 

A bolt threaded all the way (with out a shoulder or bushing) would damage the soft aluminum and eventually elongate the hole in the frame and subframe.

Whats the web site for ez rider?

 

no web site but the phone number is 601-754-3309. damn i didnt know them things were so hard to get. i have a couple in my tool box. when we replaced our motor 4 weeks ago i put all new ones in. i did learn a long time ago to blue loctite them and i double nut ours with a nylon insert locking nut against the factory nut.

 

Go to a hardware store, Thats where I got mine from.

 

I've been to 4 hardware stores and 2 motorcycle shops.

 

I called EZ Ride and ordered 5 of those bolts (making sure I have quite a few back ups). I'm not sure who I was talking to, but he was extremely helpful. Hell of a nice guy and really knew what he was talking about. I wish the dealership I bought my quad from was that helpful and well informed.
