Title says it all. My spherical end steel links have worn the bolts again. I just don't want to pay 6$ a bolt at Ford, when I can pay 0.80 cents at Home Depot. Diameter and length for the horizontal bolts goint through the sway bar holes (rear) would be awesome.

TIA

If you know it'll cost you 6 bucks from ford, then I'm guessing you've already talked to them, looked it up, or have the p/n? Have Ford look it up in their computer, I've done so before. Or PM me the p/n and I'll get a print for it.

that .80 bolt is not a hardened automotive grade bolt.

The .80cent bolt will either be plain/zinc/stainless finish... Since we are stating the obvious.

Todras, the Home depot special will be grade 5, instead of grade 8 from Ford.

Not as hard, but I don't care. I actually prefer it that way, I don't want to wear the sway bar holes any more than I have to.

Batterylight, I bought the bolts before, and got snookered. may not be 6$, but they were at least 4$ canadian each. No part number, that would be to easy...

I haven't had trouble with mine... but if I did, I usually can pick up most any bolt for 50 cent or less at a local nut and bolt place, and it is grade 8. If you can show them what you need, a local store is probably your best bet.
