Default Uh Oh...Lost a nut/bolt teraflex leveling kit swaybar link

Installed my kit last weekend, went very smooth. Just crawled under while filling up and noticed the driver side front swaybar link is missing a bolt (the top)

Anyone have the dimensions on this bolt so I can swing by the hardware store and get it put back ASAP? Leaving work in a few hours.

I also noticed that the passenger side was a little close on the bolt...wasn't much thread at all left when I installed, so I'm t hinking about replacing it with a longer bolt as welll.

Thanks guys!

Just pop the bolt out and take it in with you, especially if you're going to replace the bolt too.

Take the whole link out if you can, my top bolt came out and the link fell forward and when i made a sharp turn the link hit the tire and bent the mount on the axle.

Good info to have, ended up going to the local Mom n' pop hardware store and the employee came out with me until we got the right size. Bought galvanized and some locktite. Rocking and rolling again.

Already thinking about quick discos though...don't tell the wife.
