Does anyone happen to know (or have one laying around that they can measure) what the dimensions of the carrier bolts for the front sway bar are? I went to change out the bushings, but the bolt is absolutely frozen into the metal spacer. Sprayed it, torched it, clamped it; nothing. I mangled the bolt and had to saw the top off to get the nuts to thread back on. At this point I think the smartest option is to just chop the bolt in half and replace it. It looks like a size I can get from a local hardware store; I'd rather not wait another week for yet more parts in the mail, and I already have the bushings.
This is the bolt/sleeve I'm looking for: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinf ... cc=1192249
Thanks!

Re: Front sway bar link bolt size?
This one? 
My calipers were a hair too short so they'd be 156mm long including the head. I'm tired and forgot the head doesn't get measured
The proper length is 150mm (without the head). Threaded bit is 30mm long. What bushes did you get? My Energy Suspension kit came with replacements

that was pretty quick. thanks.
The ones I bought were also energy suspension, but I only ordered the bushings, not the kit.
