Track bar brace missing bolts
I just discovered all three of my track bar brace bolts- the ones that bolt it to the frame- are missing. I was searching for the cause of a banging noise I thought might be the exhaust. I doubt all 3 bolts could just back out all by themselves, but anything is possible I guess.
I had my rear shocks replaced about 6 months ago. Do they need to take out those bolts to get shocks in?

I was running on just one once; turned out that one was missing, and one was snapped. I ran to the local dealer; he gave me three of the correct size. I probably paid $3 each for them, but hey, it was worth it. Made a hell of an improvement in the way the car handled, too.

Got it. They're M10 x 25. Thank you FBodyCD.com!
BTW, I got them from the local hardware store all for $1.50
