This weekend I will be attempting to replace the radius arms on my 1995 RWD (the bushings are failing and one arm has a rust hole). Based on past experience, I imagine that the long bolts that go through the beam, arm, and spring retainer (with 2 nuts) will be rusted away and may need to cut off (if I can't get it with a wrench and socket/breaker bar and a MAPP torch).
However, outside of some overpriced part kits on ebay (with arms), I can't find replacement hardware anywhere nor can I find a size/spec. I'd like to have the parts in-hand before I begin the work. Also, I'm on the road for work (in a rental van) so I can't measure it right now.
If somebody could tell me the sizes of said hardware (Class 10/ grade 8, I know), that would be great. Or somebody selling the bolts and nuts as a kit that I can order.
