Stripped the threads on my 2015 Toyota RAV4's rear knuckle where the shock absorber connects, these definitely saved the day.
Also, these are the correct size, there is no need to get other helicoil inserts. The plastic tool compresses the coil as it threads into the hole, if you try to thread the coils onto the bolt before they're compressed then they appear too big.
Most difficult part was drilling out the old threads. Definitely worth buying these, even at three times the cost of the Chinese brands that come with a drill bit. I have driven 1200km since without issue thanks to this genuine Helicoil product.
