Rear Sway Bar Bracket Bolt Size
Anyone know what size the rear sway bar bracket bolts are approximately? I know they are part number SU003-00015 but can't find an actual size. I'm looking for the ones that are circles in this image:
I made the same mistake as
. So now I need to replace the bolts and fit some additional nuts behind them. I'd like to get as close as possible to the original OE size bolt when I replace it.

I believe they are 8X1.25, probably about 25mm long.

What size socket fits on the bolt head and are they OE? @rns294
You can just get something roughly the right length from the hardware store to get you going and drop by the dealership and get actual replacements later |

A 12mm fits the OE bolt. I looked up the size of an M8x1.25 and I believe that is the correct size or at least very close to it.
I was planning to just get a replacement from a hardware store but I wanted to get a bolt that was roughly the same size/pitch for the sake of strength. |

You probably have some vestigial threads left in the original captive nut(s). Cleaning those out with a drill will make the reassembly easier.

Order a direct replacement from Toyota/Subaru and that will get you what you want. It's a lot more work to sieve through the repair manual to pull the grade up. |
