bolt yeah I would phone umi or try a grade 8 bolt if you local ace hardware has the right size. I am sure umi can give you the correct thread pitch etc. if your wanting to get it done faster

Jerry just spoke with the customer. He is pretty sure the bolt worked its way loose and fell out. It is the grade 8 bolt that attaches the torque arm to the heavy steel mount that is then mounted to the rear end, the bolt is a 5/8" Grade 8 bolt. If it would break or shear there would be signs of it on the torque arm. We gave him the thread size and length and most hardware stores should have it, hope that helps.
