Front suspension wishbones etc - bolt/nut sizes
I really dislike imperial measurements . After lots of measuring & googling I think i've figured most out - hope this helps someone. Can anyone help fill in the gaps in red? This is for a 1989 XJS if that makes a difference - I think some of these might have changed over to metric at some point.
Upper wishbone
Upper fulcrum ends to hold in upper wishbone bushes - 1/2" UNF
upper fulcrum > subframe nut - 7/16" UNF
upper fulcrum > subframe bolt 7/16 UNF x 2 1/4"
Upper balljoint mount nuts - 3/8" UNF
Upper bumpstops thread - 5/16" - 24 UNF
Upper balljoint mount bolts - unknown lengths - long/short
Upright/Lower wishbone
Stub axle - 5/8" UNF on both ends - nyloc on rear.
Spring pan>wishbone nuts/bolts/studs - 3/8" UNF
upright > lower balljoint bolts - still available as 'special bolt' w/ loctite.
lower shock to mounting bracket bolt/nut - 7/16" UNF
lower bumpstop nuts - ???
3x lockwired caliper bolts - ???
Also any others that any one knows when replacing the front suspension - steering rack/ARB mounts/links/engine mounts/engine mount supports/power steering cooler etc would be very useful!
