Micrometer tells me it's a half inch. Looks like a fine thread. Metric or standard?

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

I launched the car...and it corkscrewed itself. Unloaded the one tire so quick...that the shift light went off damn near instantly. I torqued that nut on myself when I installed the QA1 rear adjustables last year. How in the blue hell it worked itself loose is beyond me. Car ran nails again last nite after I thrashed on it. Hot humid nite...soaked in sweat when I got done.
