Hey all,

The rear's been out of the car for 2 years and I've lost all of the hardware (nuts, bolts, washers etc...) to remount the rear end and all of the components like the LCAs and Panhard. Can anybody tell me what I need?

 

You'll need:

2 panhard bar bolts (maybe just one if panhard rod still attached to car)
2 lower control arm bolts (assuming LCA's still connected to car)
2 shock nuts (the shocks have bolts on the ends)
2 end links (a set)

One of the sponsors on the right (I forget which) sells the panhard bar bolt set, which I beleive is the same bolt for the LCA's. The shock nuts you may could talk a parts counter guy into busting open a box to get the right size established - any large nut will do (might want nylon insert). The sway bar end links come complete in a set at any parts store, unless you want poly, then may have to order them.

That's really all that holds it in.

 

the panhard bolts I believe are a stepped M12 bolt. I got mine from GM, it's a 10.9 grade I believe (maybe 12.9). You *need* to use a "stover" nut, aka distorted locking thread. GM had them for $12 per, so I went to a bolt supplier for $1 each.

Since most of these are bolt and nut, rather then tapped hole, you can go to an imperial size, like spohn sells.

I also highly recommend using a washer on bolt and nut side, along with anti seize.

 

Dont forget the two bolts that go through the rear of the torque arm.
