Where can I buy a bolt for the axle track bar mount?

I drilled mine out to a larger bolt with less torque on it. Just make sure you have the right drill size for the bolt you are going to use.

Replace it as soon as you can.

IIRC, it's not a metric 10.9 hardness, more like 12.9. Torque spec is something like 75 ft./lbs, that'll snap the softer bolt right off.

I honestly don't remember where I got a replacement, might have been at a dealership. None of the local hardware stores carried metric 12.9 hardness fasteners.

Jeff is a wise man.

follow his advice.

I know 3/8s and 10M seem like the same size, but 3/8's is slightly smaller. If it doesn't fit snugly in the hole it will wallow out the holes in the axle side mount, then you're going t have to replace the welded on mount.

The two are very close in size.

10 mm = 13/32" (.406)
3/8" = 12/32" (.375)

I got the class 10.9 from Lowes and have ordered a stock replacement from the dealer. Thank for everyone's help!
