Two bolts on each front strut, and one on each rear. Im installing coilovers, and want to have some spares ready incase I break one.

17 mm on the front.

Don't remember on the Rear.

Unless you want the specs to the actual bolt, in which case I can't help you.

What about length, diameter? Coarse or fine thread?

yes they are 17mm, as for the length, I would have to check when I get home since I just took them off. I don't know the pitch of the bolt...

17mm head
the bolts are /probably/ M14x1.5 and about 100mm long.

I've never had one break though.. spray them down with penetrating oil today, tomorrow and every day until you install the coilovers.

I think you mean the steering knuckle? Or are you talking about the rear?
