Default Torque Arm Bolt Size?

My car is up at my uncles, I'm going up tonight to put my new T/A bushing on the crossmember, and I know when I tossed the torque arm on before I took it up there I didn't tighten it. It's kind of a far drive, and I have no portable tool box to take, so I just have to guess and take a few sockets and wrenches with me. Does anyone know off hand what size the stock torque arm bolts were? Thanks!

Hello9
They are a 9/16 on the rear and 1/2 on the crossmember. If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help.
Thanks
Brad

Are you sure they were 9/16 on the rear? Just grabbed the sockets and wrenches and just thought I remembered them being way bigger.

What size bolt is used on the top of the clamshell that holds the front of the torque arm mount? I really need to know the full specs of the bolt because it appears I lost mine so it's flopping all over.... please help!
