Rear Control Arm Bolts

For some reason I'm missing some tools from my tool cart so I have to buy some. I was looking at the control arms and I have a bad eye at guessing what size socket/wrench I need to remove the bolts and nuts on the stock rear control arm. I wasnt sure if I needed a deep socket & wrench 18mm or not. Shoot me the sizes cuz I'm just guessing. I wanna put my Spohn arms on today...
thanks.

Re: Rear Control Arm Bolts

You're in luck.
I welded my subframe connectors in last night, and took those very bolts out. Yep, 18mm. You can't fit a deep on most of em, and plan ahead or you can get the socket trapped on the front bolt. Not enough room to get the bolt, and a tool out. Think I broke mine loose with a wrench/ratchet combo. Then used a wrench the rest of the way due to low profile.

Later, gotta go install my tubular trailing arms. Small world.
