Rear beam arm nut and bolt ?

[VXR230BHP]

When I was removing the beam to have it powder coated the bolt and nut that secures it on to the car underneath rounded off, can I use any new bolt to re fix the beam or do I have to go back to Toyota and order a new one ?

i would make sure you get a high tensile bolt just to be safe and not the cheap chocolate crap b&q sell.

So should I just go back to Toyota then ????

you can do. or just go to a decent place near you with the bolt that sells nuts and bolts and show them what you have. they will sort you out.

The nut is welded to the chassis.
Easy enough though, just drill through for clerance, and go get a longer high tensile nut and bolt, bolt through, jobs a good un.
Ive had to do this with one of my wish bone bolts.
