Default Imperial suspension sizes
Hi everyone.

I'm looking at getting replacment locking nuts for the suspension arms and spring bolts. As they have been off so many time! Mine were all imperial.

Any idea of the thread sizes?

From memory the suspension bushes were 7/16" UNF and shock bolts 1/2" UNF. Does that sound right?

Yep, Ric H is correct (for the bushes at least).

I do wonder why there are any imperial components on the car though!
