Original BMW Front Steering Knuckle Upper Pinch Bolt M10x60 for BMW X5 (2007–2024) and X6 (2008–2019)

The Original BMW 07-11-9-905-862 is the upper pinch bolt that clamps the front steering knuckle on the BMW X5 from 2007–2024 and the X6 from 2008–2019. BMW calls it a hex bolt and specifies an M10x60 thread in property class 10.9, a high-tensile grade used on joints that must hold a steady clamping load. It weighs 52 g and has BMW's chrome-free Cr(VI) finish. BMW's parts data shows production starting in September 2006. The bolt is made in Germany. A pinch bolt draws the split section of the knuckle tight around the part it holds, so the grade and length matter as much as the thread pitch.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

This number replaces the earlier 07-11-9-902-622. BMW marks the change as exchangeable retrospectively, which means the newer bolt can go wherever the older number was fitted. BMW's front wheel hub diagram for the X5 and X6 shows this bolt next to the wheel bearing and hub assembly (31-22-6-882-263), the wheel bearing bolt (31-20-6-783-065), the ABS wheel speed sensor, and the sensor bracket (34-52-6-771-770). Each of those parts has its own number and is not included with this bolt.
