    I just went thru that on my 96, I had to cut 4 out of 8 bolts. mine were plain bolts. fastnall had em but I found em at a mom and pop hardware store for half the price.

    lower Factory bolts are M14 x 2.0 pitch x 120mm long, class 10.9, flange head, nipple tip

    upper M10x1.5, 85mm long

    Bare with me for my lack of knowledge on this but I want to make sure I do it right. I think my upper control arm bolts are the original bolts both the front and rear. I am not so much worried about the rear bolt as it looks just like a standard bolt.

    The front upper control arm bolt has the standard nut on one side which I can loosen no problem but the head of this bolt is almost flat and has what looks like a little plate that is folded over. Its fairly rusty and is not budging.

    Once I loosen the large bolt a little on the one side I cant even tap it out.

    I could cut these bolts out and put a M10 X 1.5 X 90mm standard bolt in but what about this piece that looks like a little metal plate that is attached to the existing bolt?
