Default What size bolt?

While looking over the underside of my Jeep today, I noticed that the bolt on the bottom end of my driver side front sway bar link abandoned ship. Anyone know off the top of their head what size the bolt is so I do not have to remove the other one to find out. I should be able to pick one up at Lowe's or Home Depot, right, or do I have to go to the dealer?

Thanks for the info!

Well, I found 12mm bolts that are 2 3/4" in length, but they were not flanged. I got the bolts, 2 washers per bolt that are the same width as the flange and a lock washer for each bolt for good measure. They seem to be OK, but the head was not 18mm. 19mm is my new friend.

Remember these parts have to move, thats why the locking nut, so don't tighten the components together, use a good silicone grease
