Default Lost a bolt: Need Help!

I lost the upper nut and bolt from my left front sway bar link. I have a Teraflex leveling kit with their links. Can anyone tell me the size of the nut and bolt?

I don't know the size of that bolt, but you could take the other one off and carry it into the hardware store with you. Just an idea.

Yup, good call. I always go to Ace Hardware when I need a crazy hard to match fastener. The one in my town has tons of crazy stuff like that.

That gets my vote too.

Just this weekend I was putting on my new OME shocks and one of the bolts that attachs the driverside rear shock to the Jeep "walked away." I took one of the other bolts to Home Depot and found an exact duplicate. Done.

Was already going to do that, but figured I could save some time with the knowledge on the forum. Thank you Teraflex for your quick private!

Bolt 12mm x 1.75 P x 55mm
Nut 12mm x 1.75 P Stover Lock Zinc Plated
Washer 7/16" Flat Zinc Plated

I had a JKS Quicker Disconnect mounting post break off my sway bar, just used a 1/2 inch bolt, some washers and a couple fo nuts as a temp fix. 1/2 inch seems to be the biggest size bolt you'll get through the hole in your sway bar.
