Lower arm strut bolt and nut

[datq1doe]

Does anyone know what size and length that bolt and nut is? I stripped them during install and need to find a replacement at the hardware store because dealerships don’t keep them on inventory. It connects the lower bushing of the strut to the lower control arm.

I think these are M12. But you could always bring one to the hardware store with you... Keep in mind you'll likely NOT get something totally suitable and will need to order new ones from Toyota anyhow. I used a 7/16" bolt in an older Tacoma I had once to get it back together but it wasn't right and I changed it a few days later.

Yep, take the stripped bolt with you for length/diameter and get one that matches those as close as possible, doesn't matter what thread you get, just get a bolt to match, you can put the "original' in later.
