What is the rear strut pinch bolt size for the 2002 ford taurus?

The 2002 Ford Taurus uses a rear strut pinch bolt size of 12x1.75, with a grade 8 bolt hardness. If You're replacing this, You'll likely want to pick up some penetrating oil in addition to the part, as it can become tightly mated over time. The bolt itself is going to be around $9 from any local car part place. If the bolt's sheared off, You're in for a fun time trying to extract it... Some drivers have had luck with a propane torch to get the bolt out when this has happened. When replacing this bolt, also don't neglect filing off any of the rust around the collar before inserting and tightening it.
