anyone know what size the control arm pinch bolts are? I'd like to buy them before I get the car taken apart but I can't find what size they are anywhere

hmmm... we purchased from FCP Groton, they are the v70 direct fit O2 sensors... Am I correct in assuming these will be good? Hope so!! Here's the link to what we actually purchased:

haha, well they do have almost 300k on them, as my dad says he doesn't remember ever having them replaced... so it's a good thing they are in the mail!! I appreciate the help- we were getting flustered. Trying to get the auto parts store to order us a Bosch MAF right now-they say no such thing exist...

Definitely, at 275K we have them ready to go! Though this whole liquid gasket thing is something new to us...

Yeah mine's not turbo, so hopefully this'll work. I just want my car back! Starting the repair first thing tomorrow morning, we'll see how this goes. Purolator sells a direct equivalent(or so they say) to the one I found on IPD and FCP Groton. Way more expensive, but it will work for now I think...

ps. my car is a 1998. The oil filter seems to come from a 2000 V-70, while the part number we pulled off the pan seems to come from a 1997/1998 C70 depending on which time I google it. SO CONFUSED!

So... 'we' busted my oil pan while trying to replace a motor mount. Ordered one off e-bay that said it fit my V-70. It arrived yesterday, soaked it in Simple Green, and went to scrub it when we realized it had what we thought was a screw on oil filter... went to take it off and it turns out it was a...
