Suspension bolt size?

I'm going to be playing with my suspension this weekend, but the bolts holding the shock in place look fairly rusted up, does anyone know what size bolts they are so I can get some spares bought in preparation of potentially f******* the ones that are currently on there?
Cheers
Chris

if you're referring to the bolts that join the bottom of the strut to the hub carrier, one of them isn't a standard bolt, and is used to adjust the camber. this needs marking before removing if you're going to be putting it back at the same ride height so you can get it back in the same place

As Nate says^^^^^^
Try your local dealer, if they are in stock in the UK they can get next day delivery.

They look like this, as you can see one is differnet as is the washer.
VW Heritage are expensive!

Cost me £32 for two camber bolts washers and nuts from the dealer last time I got them
You can use a standard nut and bolt in the bottom hole though.

I ended up taking it to a garage in the end, who seemed to manage it without messing up the bolts!
