Same thing happened to me, go grab one from the dealer. It's a grade 8 bolt and something the dealer won't overcharge on for once. Mine came off in the middle of a drag race... **** myself thought I busted something bad...

everytime you accelerate the torque arm would bang around underneath, going over bumps would knock the torque arm around a bit. I just carefully drove it home over a distance of 80 miles. No jackrabbit starts but it still banged around underneath a good bit.
Rebolted it up and hit the track again a few weeks later, no problems. I'm going to run a torque arm relocation kit on it soon before I take it out to the track this season. Too cold still to get meaningful traction at the track.

I just had my duals re-adjusted and the dumps ran out the back. Apparently I stressed tucking it up too much as the x pipe barely touches the torque arm now. The vibration from the exhaust loosened the torque arm bolt and it fell out. So now I have the same problem. Does anyone have an idea on the exact specs of the bolt? Length, diameter, thread pitch? I don't know where else I could look it up. My dealership is full of idiots and they don't stock anything. They won't tell me sizes on anything if I don't buy from them. I do have a fastenal here locally that carries everything under the sun. If I can get the bolt specs they will have it. Someone has to know.
