Yesterday i was driving up my street and my motor started sounding like it was falling apart. So i turned around and went back home, opened up the bonnet and noticed the sound was coming from the steering pully. I stopped the car, and one bolt was missing out of the pully, and the other 3 were really loose. Where can i buy another bolt from? I put locktite on the other 3 bolts and tightened them up tight. Do you think it will be alright to drive it with only 3 bolts holding it on? Because im going on a 1000km road trip this week and im pretty sure all the wreckers and stuff will be closed because of xmas.
Australia. Love it or leave it
Your best bet would be to stop by a wreckers, and pick yourself up four new bolts and a pulley. There's also a chance that you've damaged the pump bearing with all the vibration, but you should get away with just tightening it all up
If not, take a bolt into any automotive parts store, and they should be able to hook you up with replacements![]()

Well i drove it all day today and the pump still fine luckily because its not very old. I just gota hope the wreckers are open this week. I just thought they might be closed because of xmas. If i cant get one i guess i will just have to drive 1000km with only few bolts. the locktite should hold it alright anyway i guess.

if all fails im sure a hardware store with have something similar. might just need a few extras washers ect to make one fit properly. aslong as it is temporary.
Perhaps a bolt shop might sell bolts?
It might be worth trying an engineering shop, I know that my local one is open today because I was just down there.
if its a six go to a hardware and find something but if its an 8 **** it the worst thing that can happen is you drive 1000 without power steer lol
