Who can tell me the bolts diameter on rear suspension arm?
Hi guys

Upper bolt = 10mm
Lower bolt = 18-19mm
The largest socket I had on hand was a 17mm which did not completely wrap around the nut but was extremely close... which is why I'm guessing its either 18 or 19mm in diameter.

When you said the lower bolt, is this the bolt that goes through the hole in my photo.?

I'm actually not really sure. I will take a closer look in the morning.
But for now my best guess is that it might be just the bolt for an alignment camber/caster kit my shop may have put on after I lowered my car

I've been looking into various options and I have decided to try something I have not seen before.
What I am going to do is replicate the method my front camber bolts use.
I will be elongating the rear hole and then make an offset washer to hold the bolt in place. I should be able to get a bout 3 degreess less negative camber
