Default Front axel pinch bolt stud broke. Please help.

Does anyone know if the stud is threaded into the lower fork or is it a spline type that's tapped in? Thanks in advance. Ricky

if you want part numbers, put the item in the 'shopping cart' the # will be shown at check out and you can jot them down.

then you can call your local dealers and see who has a new stud in stock.
