Bolt size?: Steering Knuckle to Shock Absorber bolt.

[Timelourd]

Transit Connect 2007 tdci

I just removed my steering knuckle from the shock absorbers. First of all... damn that thing was tight. Ended up having to weld a 12cm length of flat stock to get it off. Bolt was rusty as can be in the middle - no surprise it didn't want to come out. Glad it didn't break off in the middle!

Anyway, now I need to replace the bolt, but I don't have a thread measuring device and I don't really know where I would order a bolt that specific.

Does anyone know the size of that particular bolt, and where to order a replacement? It's bolt that fastens the steering knuckle to the shocks. Takes a size 15 socket.

Thanks in advance.
