Rear Suspension Question

I have decided to cut and grind the bolts off of my rear suspension to get my coilovers on. Im just going to replace the one bolt down there that im cutting to avoid trouble in the future.

Does anyone know EXACTLY what the one lower bolt size is? I need to go to Orileys today and get replacement bolts but i want to go in and know exactly what to look for.


Thanks in advance

Would this work?

Before cutting, measure the length of the bolt.
After cutting/grinding off the nut, take the bolt into Oreily's (or better yet Home Depot or Lowes) and use the thread checker to determine the thread size/pitch.

Now you have all the information you need to get new bolts. Make sure you get the proper grade for strength.

The lower bolt has a caged nut. Cutting/grinding will be a major pita. Have you even tried removing it yet?
