I am about to embark on a control arm trip and I want to have the hardware before I begin.

Thank you very much.

I actually got my replacement at the dealer. I know, I know....high cost....but I don't think you'll find fradulant parts there. And for a suspension bolt, that's what I want to go with.

If you were to look it up in ETKA, it will give the size like M6 x 300 or something like that.

For both facelift and prefacelift car:

Part number - 906 259 01, bolt, hex head with pin (combi) M12x1, 5x120x80

Nut: 101 064 02, shoulder hex nut, self locking, M12x1, 5


What is the actual size then? I'm going to say it's a M12 bolt, the thread pitch is 5, and the length is 120? or maybe it's 120 + 80 for the non threaded section for a total length of 200mm?

We need a fastener guy to chime in.

They've used a wrong bolt. You need 120/30. That long thread makes no sense. It just hold more water and rust faster. I've bought 120/30 in the hardware store with regular M12 thread (1.75). Fine thread makes no difference there. Use plastic insert nut.
