Need help finding some hardware

[M3This]

Hi Guys,

 

I bought the IE front subframe hardware kit but it looks like it doesn’t include the nut and washer for the idler arm or the 3 bolts for steering pump. I went to getbmwparts.com as they use to have the classic parts on there but don’t see anything listed anymore. I don’t know the part number either so can’t look it up any other way.  
 

can anyone point me to where I can go to order replacements? Thanks!

Look up part #s here: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/select?product=P&archive=1&series=114&body=Lim&model=2002

 

Getbmwparts or any of the other dealerships with online sales should be able to get what you need.

 

https://belmetric.com/ has hardware if you know the sizes needed.

The 3 bolts that attach the steering box to the front subframe are M10 x 70mm, you can get them at Belmetric along with the M10 wave washers.  I could not find the Idler Arm Nut on RealOEM.

Thanks guys!
 

 If anyone knows the Idler Arm  nut size and type of nut that it uses that would be awesome if they could chime in.

The washer for the idler arm is just not a flat washer, it is cupped        As said, all the other stuff can be bought at a hardware store.  Just don't get grade 5 off shore crap      grade 8  at a minimum

 

Thanks, Rick

There are no grade 5 and 8 metric bolts. 
 

metric 8.8 and 10.9 are roughly equivalent to grade 5 and 8 SAE . 
 

suspension/steering bolts should be 10.9 or 12.9 in my opinion, your life is important!

On the front suspension, the only fasteners that are kinda important

are the 3 bolts on the bottom of each strut.  They shouldn't come

loose- although I've had them do so and not come close to dying.

 

I now use the lock wire just to keep them from falling out.

 

Most fasteners these days are made in China- 

the trick is to buy the good fasteners they make,

or better.

maximillian imports has the online ETK electronic parts catalog. they can supply the parts. order right from the catalog page...it's either that or the dealer.
