A Heli-coil would be a much better repair and much more likely to stay in place. I don't know why I didn't think of that in the first place. Finding someone with an M10 x 1 Helicoil set might be tough, but the price of the kit is still a lot less than the price of a good used steering knuckle. PS, I just checked my catalog and Heli-coil DOES make this size. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
