I would guess it is a metric bolt by the hardness markings on it .

I'm pretty sure it's an 18mm. I vaguely remember that from removing my rear sway bar.

The bolt head is 18mm.

As for the thread size and pitch, who knows?

Those pieces just go in the scrap metal pile when I remove the rear sway bars.

18 mm. But it's an deep socket though. At least for the other side that isn't in the picture. I used an adjustable wrench to stop the bolt shown in the picture from spinning while I loosened the bolt on the other side.
