I replaced my fuel pump (again) this weekend, and managed to snap a panhard rod (aka track bar) bolt in half... I ordered two new ones- you can bet these will get coated with a ton of antiseize! And you guys know that bolt... with the big shoulder, and small threaded end? Try finding that elsewhere... a few places said they had it, turned out, they just had bolts that were thick all the way through.

Bolt part #: 11516933, price = $1.85
Nut part #: 11515744, price = $4.86

That's the first time I've ever seen a nut cost more than the bolt! The nut looks like it has a gold iridite finish to it, but still, $5 for a nut? Oh well. Just figured I'd throw this up here in case anyone needed it!

You sure the finish on that nut is irridite and not the real thing? Or maybe you got the special military version?

Well, I put it in hock, and got $20 for the nut! Time to make my millions!
