boesner 8.8 bolt

[Angr2387]

hey im putting everything back from my rod bearing job. i remember taking these 2 bolts out from the front passenger side of the car but cant remember or see exactly where they go.

they say bosner 8.8 and are about 4 and half inches long [IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]


ive been looking all day thanks

Don't look familiar, shouldn't be from the car unless someone put in some non OEM bolts.

The only bolt similar would be from the subframe like this, earlier cars come with a hex head vs etorq.

[Angr2387]

appreciate the post . i have no idea where i took it out of and i dont want to uninstall everything. than it bothers me to find out its something critical if i was to start the engine.

isnt the alternator on the driver side? i got this from the passenger side. i order a endoscope to help me track and bolt openings on that side

not a bmw bolt, could have been used in liew of the original subframe bolts. The control arm bolts are larger.

There are 3 bolts for the a/c compressor that are similar in length and are threaded full length as these are. Worth a look.

[Angr2387]

thanks will take a look i also order the a camera coming today to help

[Angr2387]

all i remember was its the front left and was one bolt on top and right below they both same in length 4 inch bolt with a 6 side head 13mm. this is so annoying . after the camera if i still cant find it will say a prayer and start her up.

i remember i was on my back on the floor when i took them out.

why would someone remove the ac compressor to do rod bearings.

They wouldn't, but hey, stranger things have happened. Just the only bolts with full length threads I recall that look about the same off the top of my head.

Just trying to help, not trying to be critical of what he should or shouldn't, may or may not have removed.

i also did a oil housing gasket install and i removed them thinking it was holding the housing i should of put them back in once i realized i took them out for no reason

i appreciate the input my endoscope got home and im gona rush home and give it one last look before i say fuck it and put the belts back on add oil and coolant and than prime the engine and say a prayer

[Angr2387]

that endoscope camera was a fail. i went over again and i the ac compressor has all its bolts. i took out all the pulleys and i dont see nothing on the left side. i came to the conclusion it had to be to be when i took the oil housing off because i had a hard time finding which bolts even after looking at the diy with the pictures. i dont think me dropping the subframe will make a difference in my search when i know its from somewhere in front of the engine. tomorrow is the big day and if anyone finds where the hell these bolts go ill cash app that person 30 bucks as a token of my appreciation. thanks!

those two bolts go through the front of the ac compressor bracket and go into the front of the engine in the upper and lower position of the ac compressor bracket.

this is the part number 07119905403

I recommend to go buy and replace with the proper OEM bolts.
