I have a 92 STX 4x4 and I did a 1.5" lift on the front and was going to add some adjustable camber bushings today, but.......

I can not for the life of me figure out what size the pinch bolt is. The bolt that cinches down on the bushing. It looks like a 12 point bolt but none of my sockets fit it!!! Please help, I need to get this up and running so I can park my wife's car back in the garage, LOL!

Thanks!

I just went through this-- it is a 12 point 12mm if I recall correctly. Soak those suckers in penetrating oil for days before you try to remove them. I was surprised that mine came out pretty easily. Because the heads were recessed it has to be a fairly thin walled socket. I put Skyjacker 132 springs on mine and used the new adjustable bushings to set the camber/caster as close to what the settings on the old bushings were(the specs are stamped into the top of the old bushings). When I took it to the alignment shop they had very little adjustments to make to finish the job.

It might not be a bad idea to replace them once you get them out,and they come with some balljoint kits... which is also not a bad idea to replace before you get it aligned.
