Default torque arm issues

after my attempt to install a new clutch, i was putting the drivetrain back together and when i went to install the torque arm, it would now angle up far more severly than before. So I lined up the back bolts and forced it down, thinking that maybe it was becuase I had it and the driveshaft removed for a while so the rear end shifted and it just needed to be forced down. Drove her around with no problems. Then yesterday morning I took a hard bump and would hear a clunking noise when I would shift to 1st or 2nd. When i got out of the car I looked, and the torque arm had come out of the rubber mount, it broke the bolt that was holding it in. The funny thing is whilie it was removed nothing happened to it for it to be angled in that manner. So now I need a new bolt, but my chiltons manual doesnt identify the size bolt or thread. Can anyone give me a resource that I can use to identify the size so I can replace it? Thanks
