Anyone know the bolt size (both frame and axle) for 96 Lower Control Arms?

I've looked through a few threads and have came up with at least 3 different sizes.

• M14x2.0x110mm
• 9/16 x 4"
• 1/2 x 4-4.25"

 

Go to the teamcherokee website. I had to replace mine and got them from there. Don't remember the size off hand.

 

I just used 9/16 grade 8 hardware from Lowes. They fit great!

 

I just searched on there, as well as went through all 7 pages of the Suspension category, and I see NOTHING. Do you have a link or a part number?

 

Never mind. Found them. Seems that website backend doesn't lead well to searching.

Honestly, as long as you get the matching hardware it doesn't matter whether it's 9/16 or 14mm.

 

Yep. Just did a TON of searching and it seems that M14x2x110 flanged head head bolts are nearly impossible to source. I've been ALL over the interweb (lol).

9/16 is 14.2xxmm so it's close enough for government work.
110mm is 4.3xx" so a 4.5" long bolt will work there.

Do still want to source flanged bolt/nut, so going to hit the local farm & tractor supply as they should have quality graded bolts (grade 8 or even 10.9). Figure once I find them, I'm going to snag a few, as the upper control arms are the same (not doing them yet, but I'd say those are future possibilities) and then eventually the rear leaf springs (the schematics I looked at seem to say they are used there as well).

Now, I just have to sawzall out one of the old (frame side) LCA bolts and I should be good. It's seized in the bushing sleeve.

 

I've got some I'll sell.

 

Have fun with that, I just finished my lift and ALL of the bolts were frozen in the sleeve. It was nuts.....
