Darn it, I just stripped the threads of the lower balljoint pinch screw. Does anybody know what size is that screw? I found one but it is a little smaller.

Citroen does not use inch threaded bolts anywhere on thir cars.
In fact french manufaturers are rather stringent in using metric parts - as the metric system was founded in France

Only aftermarket parts like exhaust clamp bolts may have inch thread.
