Default Thread pitch question

Can anyone tell me what size and pitch the bottom bolt is for attaching the suspension strut to the wishbone?

I think it's M12 but don't know the pitch.

Thanks,
FB

Have you got a bolt you can measure? I'd expect it to be M12 coarse but some suspension components are metric fine.

It's M12x1.25
The only M12 with 1.5 thread pitch on our cars that I know of is the coolant temp sensor

First it's 12mm , is it M12 or F12 with a 1.5mm pitch I can't remember as I put new 10.9 high tensile M12 shanked bolts in mine with the new coil overs, and Nylock nuts .

Just measure across 10 thread peaks with a steel rule , divide the measured distance by 10 , bingo you have the pitch !

No no help at all really sorry
