    Driveshaft bolt

    Im missing one of the 6 bolts that connect the flex disc, and i was hopping i could go to the store tomorrow to get a new one, i dont really want to order it. Does anyone have the specs of the bolt? Or know the size or anything?
    Im hoping this will fix the vibration problem im having.

    Pull another one of the bolts out and go to a hardware store. Be sure to get the same strength bolt and nut as the OEM one.

        Get the right bolt! Or find the one you lost what are you going to do go to home depot and buy an 8.8 bolt? I tried to find a place that sold automotive grade hardware when I was sick of dealing with the retards at my local dealership I had no luck.

            Kuni would be the closest to you. Bolts are wicked cheap. Tell them what year and model it is, then what you need it for. They'll pull up a picture and show you it to clairify it. Bam. Done. They should have it in stock. If not, Rasmussen (A little bit North of Kuni) should have it in stock.

              Off the top of my head it's M10x50

              but don't trust me, look it up.

                  Parts catalog is your friend... they are indeed m10x50. You need the proper self-locking nut too. I would just buy OEM from dealership or Blunt or whatever online method you choose. Get the right thing and save the hassle.
