Default Size of Torsion Bar Adjustment Bolt

I crawled under my Blazer (1993) to check on the torsion bar mounts and found that one of the adjustment bolts was missing. No wonder the drivers side is lower than the passenger side.

Does anyone know what is the size/treading of this bolt. I could not find it in my repair manual.

The whole bolt is missing? I would hope that the nut behind it is still there. I will check tomorrow to see if I can determine what size it is. I currently have mine out.

I would appreciate the help. From what I could tell the nut was still there.

I got into this Blazer really cheap but the more i work on it the more problems i find.

No complaints though, nothing wrong that i cannot fix fairly cheaply

Just realized that I had them at home, not work. M12 x 1.75 When I took mine out they were set at 16 turns. So basically once the first thread just grabbed, 16 full turns will put it back where it was. Your might be different, but just crank it till it's even with the other side.

No worries, just lucky that my front end is being torn down for powder coat. =)
