Default OeEM track bar axle bolt... got the wrong one from dealer i believe...

Ok, so I'm in the middle of my lift and I had to cut the trackbar bolt out of the axle side. It was a 15mm head and not sure of length. So I call up the dealer and tell them that I now need this bolt too. And verified it was the bolt that went into that special welded nut plate.

I got to pick it up today... at 9.82 for this stupid thing, and its a torx bolt and only about 3 inches long. I said that's not right. He looked it up again and said it was. I took it, will probably return it. I am not willingly putting a torx bit in. So does anyone have the bolt info or better yet a part number? Or should I just try to fit a ggrade 8 in there from the hardware store?

I'm just wondering if the original bolt was a torx and the one I had in there might not have been original.

I broke mine long ago and run a 3/8" grade 8 bolt and nylon nut with some washers. And no it's not a torx head, that's for the sway bar and the rear track bar on a ZJ.
