replace steering stop bolt...93 XJ????

i have one steering stop bolt that has since left the building, so i rub at fullturn one way, other is fine....anyone know what size bolt this is? i know i need a nut to replace the welded on nut on the original part, but without taking the one bolt out...i'm going to try this tonight, but i know it's been in there for awhile, and i don't think soaking it in PB is going to help much (already doing that for a few days)

so anyone know the right size bolt? is it metric? 5/16 is too small,

Have you tried ordering a new steering stop bolt from the dealer?

It isn't metric. Off the top of my head, I thought it was 3/8". But if it isn't, I guess it would be 11/32nds. Mine had to be drilled out and was replaced with a helicoil and 9mm.

That would be a really odd size for a bolt, even with our primitive "English" system of measurement.

Well, not so common certainly, but you do come across it from time to time.
