Okay so I know it has been done and asked before, I have seen several thread pages but none of them list the bolt size, they only say the bolt is a pain to get to, I am needing to find the bolt size, I have checked several threads, my repair manual shows it but does not mention a size and alldata shows it but does not give a size, it's a pain to get to, and where it's located I won't be able to run back out to get a bolt once I either cut or break it as mine is corroded and bonded to the arm, the nut spins freely on the harder to reach side which sucks any info would be greatly appreciated at this point I have tried everything except cutting it out as of this moment and have new arms to replace the old ones which are roached.rear right passenger rear.

Suspension/chassis bolts are the only thing i buy at the dealer. Worth a trip to the parts counter.

Instead of Press Fit nut, you can also use a regular M12x1.5 nut N90635001, and washer N01153110, as shown in Jayz screen shot.

Otherwise, ya still gotta get a wrench up in there to hold. Pressfit works good, just pricey for a nut, lol.

Good point, with the tight space.

Good point, with the tight space.Yeah, cuz once ya snug the bolt up to pull the nut in, ya can loosen a little. Put everything back together, and tighten with suspension loaded(like ya should). Not sure why they didn't just weld a nut to the subframe...but actually works ok.
