★ Top Answer
The 2002 Ford Taurus requires a rear strut pinch bolt size of 12x1.75 graded as hardness level 8. When replacing it, it's recommended to use some penetrating oil as it may be seized over time. The bolt can be purchased for approximately $9 at a local auto parts store. If the bolt is broken, removing it can be a challenging task. Using a propane torch has been successful for some drivers in removing the bolt under such circumstances. Additionally, it is important to remove any rust around the collar before inserting and securing the new bolt.
