Rear Sway Bar Hardware

actual sizes
I didn't see anyone list the actual sizes for the rear bar bolts and nuts so here they are.
lower mounts
4 ea 8mm x 20mm bolts
4 ea 8mm flat washers
4 ea 8mm lock washers
4 ea 8mm lock nuts
upper mounts
2 ea 12mm x 70 bolts
2 ea 12mm flat washers
2 ea 12mm lock washers
2 ea 12mm lock nuts
Grade 10.9 is recommended.
I hope this helps. The Ford numbers mean little to most people when it comes to standardized hardware. This was a 10-15 minute simple install. It took longer to find the loctite than the job itself. Yes, I use loctite with metal locknuts in critical stress areas.

"Determining Bolt Grade
Bolts of different grades are marked on the head to show what grade bolt they are. For a list of the most common grade markings see our Material Grade Identification and Properties Chart.
Grade 2
Grade 2 is a standard hardware grade steel. This is the most common grade of steel fastener and is the least expensive. Grade 2 bolts have no head marking (sometimes a manufacturer mark is present).
Grade 5
Grade 5 bolts are hardened to increase strength and are the most common bolts found in automotive applications. Grade 5 bolts have 3 evenly spaced radial lines on the head.
Grade 8
Grade 8 bolts have been hardened more than grade 5 bolts. Thus they are stronger and are used in demanding applications such as automotive suspensions. Grade 8 bolts have 6 evenly spaced radial lines on the head."
