It's probably the wrong size and has come loose. This is not a good place to

make do with makeshift repairs. Your life depends on these brakes. It's 
possible that the threads could still be restored, but you may need to
install 
a good used steering knuckle.

What year and which side is it? If it's a 68 I also need the VIN.
