Item 23 ) 6502502 NUT, Hex Flange Lock, M14x2

The "bolt" would be the tension strut if I understand you correctly.

STRUT, Stabilizer
5272250 Right
5272251 Left

nope, I need the other end of the tension strut, where it attaches to the frame of the car. I'll run outside and snap some pics, it'll make more sense then.

alright pictures should clear it up.
this is what I need. plus the nut that attaches to the bottom, the nut is not pictured.

here it is mocked up for reference with the bushing that holds the tension arm on

Nevermind, I was looking at the drawing backwards!

Item 29) 6505213AA SCREW AND WASHER Tension Strut

The drawing doesn't show the nut seperate. It may come with the part. If not I'm sure it could be had at any hardware store.

Those diagrams always make my head hurt just looking at them.

thats what I needed thanks.

Could I by chance get the thread and pitch size for these as well?

That IDK. You may have to take the one you have to a hardware, and match it up with a nut to see what it is.

It's what I usually end up doing.

Unless someone else happens to have that info cluttering up their brain.

ya that's kind of what i figured, thought is was worth a shot checking here first.

Edit...

Found it 12mm and pitch is 1.75 just in case anyone else needs to know.

Did a Google search for this part number and got directed right to good ol' 2GN.

This may end up being the first hardware store bolt used on my car.

I am not sure you will find something like that at a hardware store. Notice the upper and lower differences in size?

Sadly, yet another

DISCONTINUED PART No Longer Available For Purchase

Great- what the

do I do then? I've spent most of the morning on the phone, calling websites that don't show their correct inventory.

Post by **occasional demons** » Thu Jul 17, 2014 1:27 pm

What connects to the lower half of that?

If you have nothing, then a regular style bolt should work.

I wouldn't go less than an 8.8 to 10.9 grade.

The E brake attaches to the bottom half

Did yours snap off or are you just putting fresh ones on as preventative maintenance?

Id have to do some digging, but i think I have at least one maybe two of these lying around some where.

Preventative maintenance- I have the P4510870 Adjustable Rear Control Arm(s) and P4510826 Rear Tension Strut Kit and bought all new hardware for the day when I finally get them installed. The only part my dealership can't get new is the 6505312AA Tension Strut Screw and Washer and I need four (4) of them.

Boyscoutgonebad · Post by **Boyscoutgonebad** » Thu Jul 17, 2014 6:59 pm

That's what did four years ago just bought all new hardware, by now the new ones put on are probably covered in rust again. I remember at the time i ordered them thinking i should order a handful just to have around when the stopped making them

Midnight_Rider · Post by **Midnight_Rider** » Thu Jul 17, 2014 10:01 pm

Sure wish that you had- I would offer you $$$ for them.

Boyscoutgonebad · Post by **Boyscoutgonebad** » Sun Jul 20, 2014 2:54 pm

Let me know if you find anywhere to get them from. My car is about due for another suspension overhaul

Midnight_Rider · Post by **Midnight_Rider** » Thu Jul 24, 2014 12:43 am

Just bought four "recycled" ones on eBay. You might have to do something similar.

With this purchase, my SRT is now officially a used car.

Part # 06505213AA Screw and washer. Tension Strut.

Part is said available at 'moparpartsoverstock.com' @$4.18 each + shipping. (US domestic)
Minimum order for international address is $100. As a canadian I can't just order four (4) screws. So if someone
like Boyscoutgonebad is on a project of overhauling his
rear suspension he or she might order 2 sets of screws and send back one set the other side of the border. Would
appreciate any help on getting one set of four 06505213AA

Good luck with that website- I called them when I was going down the list of places that Google came up with when I searched for that part number and was told that they didn't have any (just like everyone else).
