Rear suspension link bolt size

Does anyone know if a 1995 E320 Cabriolet uses 10 mm or 12 mm bolts for the rear suspension link attachments? Apparently MB started with 12 mm and then went to 10 mm so they could incorporate larger bushings into the same part. Most MB makes a spacer that allows 12 mm bushing to be used on 10 mm bolts. I need to order new links and am not sure what hardware size and/or spacers to order.

Thanks,

- FD

Had to to order them today for this weekend - we're running out of season here in N.E. Crawled under the car in the parking lot at work and measured. 12 mm.

Thanks, though.
