Bolts

What are the bolt dimentions/specifications for the rear control arms. ( there are 8 bolts in total). What are the bolt specifications for the front conrtol arm (2 bolts)

The bolts on my car apear to be imperial, and they should be metric ( for the rear control arm) right?

Thanks, Ted

Mine were 21mm heads (13/16 is close enough)

If you need to know the grade it should be on the head of the bolt(mine don't), a number like 8 is metric, lines on it are imperial, lines plus two.

Mine are 80mm long, and about 58mm to the threads for the rear control arms I also thinks they are 12mm bolts

Hope this helps
