    Need Cross Shaft Nut Size. Lower Shock Mount Bolt Size

    Anybody know the size of the nut on the cross shafts? How about the size of the lower shock bolt. I want to replace while I have them out. Thanks.

    oh, misunderstood.

    Uppers are 7/8" NC self-locking. Those need to be replaced or they will creak and walk on you

    the shocks will be whatever size nut you have welded in there to make up for the stripped out threads. I'd probably go 5/16-NF. Stock I think is M8xsomething.

        I knew I had seen it somewhere. I just pulled it up out of the sticky at the top of the threads here in drivetrain/chassis. It says it's a 5/8-18, not 7/8.

        Suspension/Brakes FAQ. Please Read First!
        If you want any info added, PM me or Duece and we will add it.

        Control Arm Shaft Nut Size is 5/8"-18
