Seized bolts on alignment

[zagamuffin]

Lads using snap on system could only do the front as ear eccentric bolts were seized.Rather than risk snapping which they have seen they asked me to get a new pair before redoing all the settings together .

Delighted with the difference it made tho as the car was borderline dangerous to drive before.

So can I order any eBay bolts or are the oem ones stronger etc....???

One of my rear eccentric bolts snapped last year and had to be replaced. For all they cost and for peace of mind, I would go with OEM ones

I don't think there are 'ebay bolts'.
It's a specific part. It's not 'a bolt'

You have seen the part?

Ya, checked the bolt on the us dealers microfiche so ordered oem, about e40 for two bolts lol

 

[GuidoK]

e40? whats that?

microfiche

You're kidding right?

 

[zagamuffin]

40 euro

hmm that's a lot. They should be around €5-8 / piece (although some dealers make you order a minimum amount of 5...)

Whenever I buy bolts or screws they are from BMW - they're pennies comparatively.
