Rear bumper shock bolts (the big ass ones)

Postby zachmac » Fri Jul 07, 2017 2:19 pm

I've decided to put my rear bumper back on for now but I have misplaced the big ass bolts that hold the shock to the car. Does anyone know the size? The big ones in the trunk that required the gas tank be moved top put in or take out the drivers side.

You caught me a couple days late. Just pulled my bumpers and re-inserted the bolts for the new T-Bars. I can tell you the outside is a 22MM, it was about 3 inches long. No idea what the thread size is. Recall thinking the width of the bolt was substantial and fit the old bumper pretty snug so I would guess 13 MM.
Buon giro a tutti! - enjoy the ride!

Just figured it out. Same as front ones, M14 1.5 pitch, 70mm long. Just ordered two from McMaster Carr. Thank God for those guys. If anyone ever needs anything hardware related check them out. www.mcmaster.com
