February 21, 201214 yr HELP please!! i took apart my guts to swap to a shorter lift kit. but things came up, it got neglected for a few months, did a ton of work out in garage, wiring, roofing, cement stuff.... now the bolts are MIA, missing in action. and on the PLUS side, they wouldnt have been long enough anyhow. on the DOWN side, i coulda used em for reference, so at least i'd know what diameter and thread count the females were. now i have NOTHING to go on. my lift is 2 in rear, 2.5 in front. who can tell me what bolts to use? also, the washer/bushing thingys on the mustache bar ball joint are a bit rough lookin, 2 are great, 2 are kinda chewed up. i think they are good enough to use, i guess, but where would i get replacements?
February 24, 201214 yr Author bump. i just need to know the bolts for my torsion bar. my rear shocks. my crossmember, and my strut towers. the original factory specs, please!!!???? im sorry if this info is on here somewhere already. i looked some. didnt find anything???
February 24, 201214 yr Have you thought of just going to a pick n pull and getting some bolts off another Subaru? that is what i would do.
February 24, 201214 yr the long bolts of the xmembers of a newer legacy are good make shure the end of bolts are marked grade 9 or higher belive they are 11.125 or 12.125 thread pitch
February 24, 201214 yr Author but they need to be for a 2 inch lift.... i just want the specs for the ORIGINAL factory bolts because i assumed that info would be more readily available. and i could just go from there.
February 24, 201214 yr there are many types of lifts. for instance my former 4" lift, used the stock mount bolts for going up into the body mount captive nuts, and used some high grade other bolts for connecting the suspension back to the bottom of the blocks. Some lift kits use stock bolts, some lift kits use long thru bolts instead. Not much more info to say than that. If i had pitch grade, length etc, i would provide it.

February 26, 201214 yr Author lol ok..... im a dope at metric. those have GOTTA be stock measurements, though.... 30mm, thats just a hair past 1 inch, yea? one inch is around 25mm, if i recall?? everything i know about metric conversions, i learned from owning guns and buying ammo, growing up. 12.7 is .50 so 25.4 would be roughly one inch. hmmm,,,,, okay thanks again scott. mucho grassyass
