Rear Shock Lower Bolt

[Mcbudge]

Hi guys, first post and unfortunately after some advice!
Just went to change my rear shocks, the passengers side was stiff, but did undo! I think it may have still been the original shock, but it was completely broken! I came to do the passenger side and the bolt is as stiff as anything, wont budge! The shock has been replaced before and by the looks of it the bolt isnt screwed in fully, so im assuming that it is probably cross threaded!
Anyway, long story short, im after the bolt size of the rear shock lower bolt so i can order one and get a tap sorted just in case it is cross threaded! Also is it any particular type, as in 8.8/10.9 etc!
any help will be great!

Not sure of the bolt length - though if I recall from when I did it, the bolt was 18mm and the top bolt was 16mm.

Make sure you cake the affected bolt in WD40 or similar - it may just be stuck with crap build-up.

I think your referring to the head sizes, i used a 16 mm spanner for the top and an 18mm for the bottom! Ive read somewhere on here the bottom is an m12 fine but i wanted to double check and hopefully find out a length!
In regards to signing up, that was my next job on the list
