Could some one tell me the sizes of the steering rack bolts so I could go get some at the bolt place here. Size/tread/length/strenth? Any help would be great! I'd also like to find out what the ones one the cap that goes over the front rack are for sizes.

They should be M8, fine pitch (1.0 thread pitch), about 25-30MM long, and have 13MM heads.

Get hardned bolts (grade 10.9 or 12.9). GM used bolts made of putty when they built fieros. Three out of four of mine broke. Lube them down days before trying to get them out. Be careful.

Also, you may want to use anti-sieze on the new ones before installation if you ever plan on getting them out.
