So today Im putting i9n my new track bar and my old bolt broke so I ran to my local hardware store and bought a stainless steal bolt and went to torque it on. Half way through the head snaps and I spend all day trying to get it out. So Ive read stuff saying get a grade a bolt or grade 10? Will these break if i torque to 125lbs. And does anyone know the exact size for the bolt and nut?

Go to Lowes, get a 3/8x16 grade 8, 3" .Torque spec at the axle side is 55ft lbs w/o anti-sieze. The sleeve in my new bushing, was a bit larger ? May have been able to have used a 1/2" bolt ? But I opted to stick with the 3/8" to reuse the locking OEM style nut. I used a cut strip of metal coffee can, and rolled it up, to make a shim, within the sleeve. No slop, whatsoever!
