Ok guys I'm needing to replace the control arm bushings in my ol  dodge, I'm looking at getting them from Genos garage but they offer 2 sets based on bolt size is there any way to tell the size with out removing the bolts

That's why I did my passenger side. I wanted all the caster I could get. I really don't get those front lower bolts. The rear ones literally come right out, the front ones won't budge. Hopefully your stealership is better than mine, I paid $28 for the bolt, washers, and nut....I did get my caster maxed out though and it did help a little with return to center. Nothing amazing though.

I dont by much thru the dealer unless I have to have it quick. Not always possible on a 15 year old truck though. The bolts can be had thru few other places from near what you paid on down. Not sure how they compare with the dealer part.

So caster meaning you want to make lower control arms as long as possible?  When you do this adjustment do you need to lossen all of the bolts on both control arms?  So you don't have exes pressure on busings? 

Yes, lower arms as long as possible to make the ball joints lean back (positive caster). No you shouldn't need to lossen all bolts on all arms, but you will need to jack up by the frame and let the front suspension hang in order to take all the pressure off. I just loosened the front and rear bolts on the lower arms, then got the truck as high as I could with jack stands under the frame. Then I jacked up the axle enough to remove both front wheels, then let the axle all the way down. :-) hope this helps :-)
