End link bolt size?

anyone know the bolt size (the thread and the diameter) for the end link bolt that connects to the rear sway bar?


Mine fell out, and can't seem to find one.

i think it's 14mm at 20 course thread, but can't be sure, since I don't have anything to compare it with.

Thanks for the help.

Just trying to find out, since I work nights, I can't call the dealer in the afternoon.

I believe it is 14mm but unaware of the thread count call me and I can pick one up for you tomorrow from Mitsu.

ok, thanks for you help.

I've found the bolt at AutoZone.

It's jap spec, fine thread 14mm bolt.

worked perfect.

did it with 2 jacks.

one to lift the car up, 1 to lift the lower arm up so the end link to line up with the swaybar adjustment hole.

I called mitsu early this morning and they said you have to buy the end link with the nut.

that's nutz.

Thanks Myevoviii.

Yeh, I have Hotchkis rear sway bar.

What happened was when the thin bracket broke on the right side in 3 pieces, the vibration from whenever I was turning loosen the bolt that connects the adjustment end to the end link.

And when I was at the auto-x, I think it finally came off.

But Hotchkis sent me the bracket and I got this fixed without too much problems.

I did have to take the tire out, which is piece of cake.

Thanks for looking out.

we have an auto-x this weekend, you're more than welcome to come.
