HELPPP wheel hub BOLT is missing/fell off
hey everyone,i was checking out my wheel speed sensor because my abs,traction control lights was on and it was throwing the code for front wheel sensor..well i noticed one of the bolts on i think its the wheel hub missing..who ever installed the wheel hub probably didnt torque down the bolts properly and it fell off..dose anyone know the part number or whats the name of the bolt so i can get another one..i attached a picture with an arrow pointed to what i need

The bolt you need is M10-1.50, 50mm in length. Since its metric, you need a grade 10.9 bolt, dont use grade 8. The factory bolts are grade 10.9. You might want to buy all new hardware, the factory bolts are labeled as one time use although most people re-use them. Its cheap insurance, if those bolts fail the wheel and tire is leaving the car. I believe the factory torque spec is between 60 and 65 ft lbs. A little loctite doesnt hurt. Sorry about being vague but I dont have the manual nearby. If you can wait a day or 2 for shipping, mcmaster-carr is a great source for hardware.

I think im going to have buy a whole new wheel bearing because the plastic little cup thing thats attached to the back of the unit was loose and came off..that plastic cup shaped thing turned out to be the wheel sensor..

Shipping is very reasonable considering you get the bolts cheaper than the dealer. For one bolt it may not be the best idea, but since the OP's bolt is missing, I would be concerned about the other 7 bolts. If I recall it cost me about $7 plus about $3 for shipping for 10 bolts correct size grade 10.9 zinc plated. 10 bucks for a piece of mind isn't a bad deal. How much does the dealership charge for one bolt?

You are lucky then, I haven't been able to find a parts department that doesn't have a wild markup locally. The same bolt at the dealerships in my area would easily be $4 to $5, which is why I always look elsewhere.
