lower left shock bolt - from hardware store?
03/22/09 at 17:08:06

I had the please of snapping my lower left shock mount bolt this evening - I was checking out the fiche and it looks to be smooth with threads juts at the end, is this a size that can be found at the hardware store or will I need to get one from the dealer? or someone here?

Figured I would throw the question out there as I am sure I am not the only one who has done it - better in the carport than on the road i guess!

I'd have no idea where to find a bolt like that except maybe from a junkyard or dealer.
