Default Bolt Size help

I got out of the Jeep and was heading in the house when I noticed that my driver side rear shock was dangling. I suspect it loosened and just fell out.

Anybody know what size and grade bolt I'm looking at?

I'm running a FT 3", but I imagine lift make is unimportant.

I'd just look at the passenger side lower bolt...I'm sure they're the same.



That way - you could take the P side bolt with you, and get one just like it.

i m not sure on the length, but i m 99% sure it is 12mm 1.5 pitch. they are the same size (thread) as the sway bar bolts and those are 12mm 1.5 pitch. be careful becuase metric has 3 pitch sizes 1.25, 1.5, and 1.75. it isn t like standard that has fine and coarse.

Thought about that, but didn't want to mess with it if I didn't have to. I had to...problem solved.

Thanks, 6
