Anyone know what this screw is called?

Hey guys and gals, does anyone know what the part number or name is for this screw? I'm having a lot of trouble finding it out.

Many thanks 🙂

That's a shoulder screw. I'm sure its metal thread, since it's into aluminum, but I couldn't tell you what size integy is using there. Take it to the hardware store and match it up?

Thanks, I guess if I buy one of those screw sets its bound to have one. I thought it might be special because of the spring set up.

Remember a drop of blue locktite on the threads will help those screws stay where they belong...

I think they are called kingpin's. Is there a bushing or something that the screw goes through so the aluminum isn't touching the steel screw? In many cases, there's a bushing that goes in there so it takes the wear vs the part. The normal savage has the kingpin screw, part Z288, they call it a step screw. It's course thread though since it threads into the plastic axle carrier.

What size thread is yours? Might help to take it out and take a picture of just the screw and post up how long the non-threaded part is.

I took it to the local hobby shop and they put a new screw in there so i got a few more as spares. Unfortunately they didn't have any blue lock left so I still need some of that but at least I can run it now. I'll take the original screw out and have a look at the threads to see if it's only partially threaded like old's said.

I ordered a stainless screw set so if the one the local shop put in isn't correct I'll just swap it out.

Thanks for all the help guys!

You can get locktite at most automotive parts stores.

That is the hpi suspension conversion kit 87245. It does not use a step screw. Just a reg bolt with a bushing.

Great! Thanks. I've seen locktite with a red boarder around the packaging but I presume I want the blue...

Ahh, I presumed it was an integy part. Thanks a lot! I presume the bushing just stops it from rubbing on the alloy.

Yeah, more than likely. The red locktite is almost permanent. Usually requires heat/torch to get it to break loose.
