Suspension Bolt Size query

[zel05]

Hi there.

Just wondering if those with the knowledge might be able to help out with a little question i have.

It seems as if one of the bolts that goes through the rear sway bar endlink and into the lower control arm has gone on a vacation. Weird thing is, is that it didn't shear off...so obviously just never tightened up enough.

Now although the other one is still in there...Even if I went to the trouble of hoisting it up to have a look at it, I still wouldn't know what the dimensions of the bolt are.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Michael

Added* Forgot to mention that I have Type R LCA's with a whiteline swaybar...I'm not sure whether whiteline supplied a replacement bolt for this or whether it was an existing part.

just take the bolt out from the other side and take it to a bolt store.

No need to hoist the car up, just undo it while its on the ground if you really want to. Or just jack that one corner up.

or spend 5 minutes at a wreckers.

Make sure you get the right tensile strength or you will come to grief. Match the markings on the head of the bolt. And use a new locknut or 'loctite' it

my eg's i'm pretty sure are m8 1.25 and appox. 40mm long. to long is ok as it just pokes though the other side.
