Newbie to thread and just learning the site, but Im in need of a quick answer i cannot find.

Im changing the rack and pinion on my 92 2.3 LX and one of the bolts is froze in the bushing. Any suggestions on getting it out? Im thinking about cutting it out but my only concern is finding a new bolt the right size and length.

Anyone know the specs of the bolts that go threw there. I think there roughly 7.5 inches long, and metric but not for sure what size, and the ford dealer no longer carrys them.

Any help would be appreciated.

Try getting that bolt out. Use lots of penetrating oils and an impact gun if you have to. If you do end up cutting it, take the good one to your local hardware store and have them match up a new one.
