couldn't find this info with a search,

I was wondering if anyone knows of some replacement bolts for the front control arm pivot bolts.

i found these, anyone know if they work? http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS-Performance-Products/555/60550/10002/-1?parentProductId=1137085

i'm confused because these say they are a M16 hex size, but the bolts on my SVO are closer to a 1" hex on the bolt and an enormous 30mm on the nut. seriously, why would they put a nut that huge on it?

please help clue me in.

thank you!

Yep - those look correct. And cheaper than your local Ford dealer I suspect. THe nut hex is almost always larger then the bolt hex size. More washer face area.

Those bolts go to 150 Ft-Lbs. and the nuts are locking, so it will take LOTS of muscle to thread them in the first time.
