I lost a bunch of bolts in anger when I took my car apart last. What size or part number is the bolt that connects the steering rack to the steering shaft? Its a C shaped housing that slides over the shaft. I searched but couldn't find any size.
Thanks!

I also don't remember my bolt being nearly 40.3mm if I'm reading that correctly. I don't see a hole through the shaft to support such a long bolt. It seems like it's merely friction-fit with the one short bolt, as that's what I remember taking off.

In fairness, you did loose the hardware to your car....so perhaps your memory is not relevant.

The bolt is not that long at 1.59" .....
So I see it locks around instead of a friction-fit like I thought. Thanks. And there's a corresponding nut on the other side. In my defense, it is hard to reach, so I couldn't see it very well, but against myself, I should've kept track of it... Thank you anyway.
Lower steering shaft bolt size
