Title: Suspension bolt sizes?
Post by: Nightpath on July 31, 2016, 05:07:50 PM
I'm redoing my suspension but I've been running across rusted and corroded bolts that have to be cut out of the bushings...and they're fused with them to boot.

Anyone know the specs of the upper and lower control arm bolts (that are in the bushings),  and the rear leaf spring bolts for the front, rear upper and lower bushings?

Thanks :)

hi, i think the fronts are 1/2", best bet is to take the old ones, even if they are fubar, to a local hardware store and match 'em up, good luck, gz

The lower control arm bolts are for caster/camber adjustment . They are special cam bolts . You can find them at Rockauto . The others you can find at a good local suspension shop .

I bought some grade 8 for the front. I'm going to grind them down a bit to make them work.

Need to figure out the rear bolts. Everything is seized in and the bolts are rotten so Im not able to get sizes. Booo

When I redid my rear suspension, I ordered all the bolts and bushings from ESPO Springs 'n Things

They knew what size bolts were needed.
