Technical 1999 105 JTD drive shaft studs and nuts

[Michael Spinks]

Hello,
My garage has managed to break the drive shaft high tensile studs and has not been able to source them from Fiat France. Does any one know where I can get these as they are (apparently) a rather special type ?
Have already tried usual internet villains but no luck.
All the best,
Mike

Hello,

Have you checked in ePER for part numbers? It should be much easier to find those knowing the number. The ePER link is on the bottom of the forum banner, the search window is top left of the screen, I'd suggest searching with the VIN.

Can you narrow down what has broken?

Is it the fixings for the intermidiate drive shaft bearing on the longer shaft

Apparently there is enough space to allow the use of slightly longer (35mm rather than 33.5mm) screws and there is no problem using allen headed M8 2.9 tensile screws easily available from Accu (https://www.accu.co.uk/) who supplied them really quickly ! They are also available in Europe from Bricovis
All the best
Mike
