thats what I do, but usually go to the local NAPA because they have a better selection of grade 8 bolts.

The bolt you need is M10-1.50, 50mm in length. Since its metric, you need a grade 10.9 bolt, dont use grade 8. The factory bolts are grade 10.9. You might want to buy all new hardware, the factory bolts are labeled as one time use although most people re-use them. Its cheap insurance, if those bolts fail the wheel and tire is leaving the car. I believe the factory torque spec is between 60 and 65 ft lbs. A little loctite doesnt hurt. Sorry about being vague but I dont have the manual nearby. If you can wait a day or 2 for shipping, mcmaster-carr is a great source for hardware.

It's a metric bolt, get one that's 10.9. I don't know the size off hand, but you'll want to get one with same thread pitch as the others.

Those aren't one time use TTY bolts. They are fine to reuse as there is nothing special about them. Just metric grade 10.9 bolts.

I think im going to have buy a whole new wheel bearing because the plastic little cup thing thats attached to the back of the unit was loose and came off..that plastic cup shaped thing turned out to be the wheel sensor..

These bolts are one of the very FEW things I go to a dealer for. IMO - Worth the extra money to get the thing off the shelf instead of hunting all over for a match.

McMaster-Carr has the exact sized bolts in grade 10.9, they even have the correct shoulder length for less than the dealer. Excellent quality hardware.

How much to ship that one bolt?

Shipping is very reasonable considering you get the bolts cheaper than the dealer. For one bolt it may not be the best idea, but since the OP's bolt is missing, I would be concerned about the other 7 bolts. If I recall it cost me about $7 plus about $3 for shipping for 10 bolts correct size grade 10.9 zinc plated. 10 bucks for a piece of mind isn't a bad deal. How much does the dealership charge for one bolt?

Edit: So I dont sound snarky, understand that I despise the parts departments at dealerships because they always have ridiculous prices.

I don't despise the parts departments, I despise the dealership owners. I've found the markup on parts varies wildly between dealers - even in the same market.

I think the last time I bought a brake caliper 10.9 bolt, it was between $1 and $2 each.

You are lucky then, I haven't been able to find a parts department that doesn't have a wild markup locally. The same bolt at the dealerships in my area would easily be $4 to $5, which is why I always look elsewhere.
