Can anyone confirm that the included front upper control arms bolts are 7/16. I have a set on order and am replacing my upper control arm bushings. I ordered the Moog bushings which won't fit a 7/16 bolt. It would be easier to drill them out in a vice instead of installed in the axle.

If using existing bushings do i use original bolt or drill out bushing to 7/16"?
 
Doesn't matter.
Thanks for quick response! Follow up question - original bolt has the little "flag" on it but isn't long enough to lock over Savvy ends. Can I just get a replacement standard bolt same size as original?

No, drill the frame end for 7/16" if needed and then use that original bolt and the nut from the other end to make a plain nut and bolt set up.
