what size bolts/nuts to replace TRE adjusting sleeves

I want to replace the TRE adjustment sleeve bolts since they are old and striped. And just now on the to get smogged have got losse enough to creat death wobbles. I have looked all over and cant find the size. I want to stop by the hardware store and pick some up without having to take anything off. If anyone can get back asap I would appreciate it. Thank you

You didn't state which model you have but,

Ford F-250 Tie Rod End - Free Shipping - Proforged Chassis Parts, Replacement, Moog

Ford F-250 Tie Rods & Sleeves - JCWhitney

F250 linked to but simple to adjust for exact model.

Loose enough to create DW doubt it but if bolts are bad and it's truly that loose new sleeves might be a good idea go with those new bolts.

I replaced my tre a week or so ago. And afterwards noticed DW. I looked under the truck and noticed the bolt was loose on the sleeve and shook back and forth now. Once I tightend it, the DW went away. it is having the same reaction now. And the one bolt that was loose was bent. It only shakes on the passenger side. Exactly as before. I just need the bolt size so I can replace the worn out one

If its a F250 with 7/8" dia drag link its 3/8" X 2", if its a F250 with 1" dia drag link its 3/8" X 2 1/2".
