Rear Sway Bar, oops!
Lost a bolt from the endlink to the frame somehow and of course, half of my polyurethane bushing, and all the hardware on one side.

Should I use a grade 5 or grade 8 bolt as a replacement? I figure a bolt, nut and some washers and I should be good to go.. along with a new bushing *set*.
