Bolt Questions

Whats the bolt ID (diameter) of the trailing arms and toe links at the chassis and the hub?

Also anyone know if the diameters of a bolt are the same for a given head size?

The trailing arms have a 17mm nut and bolt at the front and a 14mm bolt at the back (through the lower control arm). The toe links have a 14mm nut and bolt at each end.

If you're looking for the diameters of the shafts of the bolts, the 14mm bolts have a 10mm shaft and the 17mm bolts have a 12mm shaft.

Hmmm, I thought one had a 19mm head, do you know what that translates to?

Thanks for the help though! Now gotta find the bolts!

That's what I was wondering.

Using SAE bolts in place of metric ones is not sensible.

Because you didn't specify what you were looking for or why.
