Torque arm bolt? Any ideas on size?

OK, well I was tinkering around under my car and noticed that I'm missing a torque arm bolt. I guess this explains why I had one left over when I was done with the rear end project.

Anyway, since that bolt is long-gone, does anyone know what size I'll need? I'd rather not remove the whole torque arm just to find out...

Not positive on the size, but they are for sale on the Spohn website- ~$20 for the pair if I am remembering correctly.
These will be a touch longer, though.

M14 x 2.0 x 185, but if I recall correctly there's something about them that would keep you from wanting to use a hardware store bolt as a replacement.

yeah, there is a shoulder at the very top of the bolt for about an inch, then it necks down slightly for the remainder of the length of it.



if memory serves me correctly
