fisher Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I am having a issue finding caliper bracket to knuckle mount bolts. They're 12 point 13mm bolts kinda like the hub to knuckle bolts. Are there newer jeeps that run the same size bolts? 89 comanche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghetdjc320 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Do you have 89 knuckles? New bolts normally come with the calipers. 89 was the last year for the old style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91Pioneer Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I just went through this exact issue on my 89 MJ. Except mine were E-torx bolts. The bolts are flanged M12 x 1.25 - 35mm length, grade 10.9 I went to the junkyard, there were no XJs so I grabbed two random bolts that were laying on the ground and matched the spec. I took one of my bolts there to compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking about caliper to caliper bracket bolts, I'm talking about caliper bracket to knuckle bolts. Looks like 91Pioneer is having the same issue!

Grade 10.9, don’t get 8.8 which will be more common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
