I'm looking to do my ujoints. What is the socket called for those funky looking bolts? Will it be standard or metric? 96 3.0 ext. cab.
Thanks

If your talking about those bolts at the rear end, they are 12mm 12point bolts, requiring a tool normally called a SOCKET. Just a 12 point socket. They are starting to use 12pt bolts more on cars now, this area and Dodge brakes are the area I see them most.

hey Cheap....nice sarcasm...but try reading the original post before you decide to be a cynic...i already called it a SOCKET...i wanted to know what type of socket it took. Mine just spin on the heads. So yes, now I know I need to acquire a set of 12 point sockets....thanks for that, but the sarcasm is not appreciated.
