Default Help! Need A bolt to the rear strut

The bolt to the passenger rear suspension ending up getting stripped today. Does anyone by any chance have one around. Honda can't get it in in for another week! This is the bolt that goes through the bottom of the strut and connects it to the lower arm. If anyone has this please let me know asap!

Remove the nut from the strut and just buy a new bolt and nut from a hardware store.

IIRC, It's a fairly common 10mm honda bolt... Not sure about the interior diameter. You might be able to borrow a 10mm bolt from somewhere.... Maybe the spark plug cover? Nah, i think it's a different 10mm bolt.

Its a metric 12 x 1.25 (fine thread) and its 85mm long. And its grade 8 or 10.9 in metric hardened steel. Trust me I have been everywhere imaginable. No where has it.

Pretty much, unless you have impact tools.
