Default Control arm bolts????

I have a clunking noise from my upper control arms. I replaced the bushings and during the install the bolts didn't seem tight in the bushing sleeve. I just think the P.O. changed the bolts and replaced them with the wrong ones. Does any one know the stock size bolt and the length. Thanks to whoever comes up with an answer to this strange question. I know I should have brought the arm to the parts store and got bolts but I didn't have time, its my DD.

Sorry I think I am 7 years too late LOL. If you found the answer can you please post what it is? I'm not really sure myself. Only what I have seen in a couple posts that other people have replied to. I am searching for the answer myself because mine are about 20 years old and rusted and impossible to get off. I saw on another post this person gave this answer:

"They are metric M14, but if I recall correctly a 9/16 bolt will fit it properly, easier to find than a metric of the proper grade. Make sure you use grade 8."
