Default Need a part number....

I noticed the "C" clip that goes on the end of the adjustment bolt on the rear leaf spring has broken. There is still enough to stop the bolt, but I don't like it.

Can anyone help mw with the part number for that "C" clip?

TIA.

My parts manual shows a push-on nut for a 10mm stud with 19mm OD and 1.4mm thick and made out of 1050 steel. (P/N 11508192) Dunno what that's all about unless the book is wrong or they changed it at some point. I have a bunch of c-clips that I'll check to see if they're the right size just for the heck of it. Here's what mine looks like.

Yea, that retaining clip is the one I'm talking about. One of the tips broke off and that's kind of disconcerting considering what I do with this car in the weekends.

Thanks, and let me know if your clips match that description, if you don't mind.

I'll let you know. In the meantime. if you have enough threads left beyond your nut, you could just use a locknut to double-nut it in place.
