Hi guys (and gals),

After some advice on the long bolt that goes through both rear links to hub, the replacement bolts from LRDirect are fully threaded, thinking they should be shouldered bolts or do they screw into the hub, on a 2005 FL1?
 
Think it was unchanged for all years. My 2002 is only threaded at the end and slides through the hub. They do get seized with rust though.
 
Not ideal being threaded through the hub sections as this is effectively a 'bearing' although with no planned movement and the thread will a) reduce the diameter of the rod causing movement and b) introduce fretting corrosion due to gaps in thread pitch.

Agreed. It's just a theory that the supplier has substituted the threaded bolt for the NLA original.

It would be handy to out the bolt dimensions, as I'm sure there's a better alternative available.
 
Same conclusion on it being ‘fully threaded’, not ideal, the parts where contact is made should be a shouldered bolt, being in engineering myself thought this to be strange.

Hi, I ordered mine from my local LR main dealer 09/08/18 cost was £10.46 ea + vat P/NO ANR5337, nuts RYH100590 £2.01 ea + vat. Pigs to get out tried soaking them in penetrating fluid for 24 hrs then heating them (the lugs on the hub)up, luckily one moved that way but the other one I had to cut & drill out (the bits left in the lugs on the hub). Good luck.
