Don't assume...
A LOT of the suspension parts on the C900 are holdovers from the 99, which was built with SAE components. I believe the ball joints are SAE nuts, not metric. Not sure of the size though. The ball joint BOLTS, OTOH, were SAE early on (if you need a different size wrench on the nut vs the bolt head, they are SAE), but changed to metric in the mid-80s (about the same time the anti-roll bars came around).
