Steering knuckle bolt

does anyone know what the specs (length, thread pitch, etc) are for the bolt that holds the ball joint on the front steering knuckle? I bought some knuckles a while back and they didn't come with the bolts. any help would be greatly appreciated.

The only difference is the stabilizer bar bolt is longer. Something to consider... since it is longer the end is prone to rust. From my experience it's a good idea to service that bolt regularly. It's known to seize up because road dirt etc. can find its way in there pretty easily. I never-seize the hell out of that bolt and I turn it once a year LOL.

I hate that bolt.

it is for sure a 10mm, not sure about the pitch. the 626's and other FWD Mazda's use the same style of ball joint, so the bolt for those might be an option
