LCA Pivot Shafts

straightlinespeed said
Im getting ready to rebuild a set of LCA and I already have the pivot shafts out. When I picked these up they didnt have the washers or nuts with them. Im curious however, when do you decide to purchase new pivot shafts, or reuse the originals?

If I reuse the originals does anyone know what size nut to use on the shafts? Thanks everyone

They are either 9/16 or 5/8 thread, I can't remember for sure, and I believe it's fine thread.

Find a good parts store/hardware store that carries grade 8 nuts in 9/16" or 5/8" and match it up.


I like to chase the threads on the shafts with a die before reusing to clean up the threads...
