You have to use the oem bolt. The oem bolt has a dog point to locate it in the block, and a thick shoulder to locate the bracket.

Thanx..and everytime i began to step on the break i hear metal to metal hitting n that causes to break my axle half shalf bracket bolts

Has your air conditioning been removed? The a/c compressor bracket is where the axle bracket bolts go thru providing the proper alignment with the trans hole. If that is gone, it makes the alignment off putting some extra stress on the bolt heads.

Noo.. but it doesnt have the ac compressor bracket.. is their away to fix that or do i need to get the ac bracket???

In order to get the spacing right you need the bracket or if someone has one handy to measure you can replace it with stacked up washers.

I have had 4 stacked up washers under mine for about 7 years with no issues.

Or use the spacer Mitsubishi designed and used in AWD DSMs equipped without A/C. The part number is MB297732.

8mm washers needed .
Use OEM bolts and keep cool on your torque wrench

Good info on the bolts and OEM spacer! Gotta get me some and save a potential problem down the road...

Anybody have a part number for the half shaft bracket bolts?

Edit: I found the part numbers on JNZtuning MB297860 & MF450406

if you broke the bolt in the block like I did, how would you get it out?

Use an easy out. Or just drill it out to the point where the left over metal breaks easily. Its a PITA, but it works.
