Default power steering mounting bolt is missing, d16y7

hey guys, so today I noticed that my car was making a funny noise when the wheels were at full tilt. So I checked under the hood and realized that the bolt that holds the top of my power steering pump is just missing, and the only thing holding it in place was the tensioner bolt.

Since its missing, and Honda is closed - I need to know the thread pitch of that bolt! I know its 12mm, but I don't know the length or thread pitch.

ps- I tried downloading the helms manual in the FAQ, but my computer is screwed up and I can't get it to download.


Please help!

Take the belt off, it will still drive with no power steering. Drive to a parts store and try out different bolts.

good suggestion, but I did it with my gf's car. Got it taken care of. Close this thread.
