Automotive Hardware

Automotive hardware covers the fasteners, clips, seals, and fittings that keep vehicles assembled and safe. This directory section helps technicians and DIY mechanics quickly find car and truck fasteners, replacement clips, and repair kits that fit and last. Browse bolts, nuts, washers, lock washers, flange bolts, nylock nuts, lug nuts, wheel studs, trim clips, panel fasteners, plastic rivets, grommets, hose clamps, brake hardware, suspension hardware, engine and body hardware, O-rings, seals, bushings, bearings, electrical connectors, terminals, fuse holders, cable ties, battery terminals, TPMS hardware, hitch and towing hardware, and complete assortments.

The right hardware improves reliability, reduces rattles, prevents leaks, and resists corrosion. Options include stainless steel, zinc-plated, coated steel, and nylon, plus metric and SAE sizes to match OEM specifications. You’ll also find grade choices like SAE Grade 5/8 and metric 8.8/10.9/12.9 for the required strength, along with head styles such as hex, socket cap, Torx, and flange.

Practical tips for selecting and using automotive fasteners:
- Match metric vs SAE, diameter, thread pitch, and length to factory specs.
- Confirm torque specs and tightening sequence; use a calibrated torque wrench.
- Replace torque-to-yield (stretch) bolts; do not reuse critical one-time hardware.
- Choose coatings for the environment: stainless for rust resistance, zinc for cost, Geomet/Dacromet for brakes.
- Use threadlocker or anti-seize as specified by the service manual.
- For trim and panels, use push clips and plastic rivets; a clip tool prevents damage.
- For hoses, use worm gear clamps for general use and T-bolt clamps for high pressure.
- For electrical, crimp with the correct die and seal with heat-shrink.

Search by make, model, and year for precise fitment, or stock fastener assortments to speed common repairs. Organized bins and labeled kits save time in the bay and reduce comebacks, helping you deliver safer, quieter repairs.
