Mystery Bolt
Hi all,
I recently bought a 2nd hand 2007 Fit and when I pulled onto my street, I heard a loud noise like something fell off the car. Eventually found a large bolt on the ground. 7cm long.
It is heavy duty.
Any ideas where to look?
I'm nervous to drive without know where it came from!

Thanks in advance.

 

Looks like a subframe or suspension bolt.

Edit: it’s definitely one of the “Bolt, flange” type of bolts. Can you measure the bolt exactly? Try searching for “Bolt, flange (width x length)”

 

Thanks Azuki.
I'll check those areas first. I'll keep everyone posted on what I find today.

 

The flange bolt appears to be a 10X60. The shank is 10mm in diameter and has a length of approx 60mm.
I have been unable to find any 10X60 flange bolt for the Fit at all!
Any other ideas out there?
Thanks in advance.

 

Update:
The bolt was actually a 12X60.
I took the car to the dealer who found that it was one of the upper transmission bolts (manual transmission) that had fallen out!
They reinstalled it and sent me on my way.
Thanks Azuki for your help.

 

Glad you found it! Better safe than sorry

 

Jeez how does that even happen, those bolts seem to be frozen in there pretty solidly. Unless they changed the clutch/transmission and forgot to tighten it of course.
