Default Rear C6 control arms

Had an alignment today. I think the tech may have stripped (or overstretched) the bolt on the rear mount. Is this a dealer item or a bolt I can get at a fastener store? (size...?)

the concentric? You would need to get the oem bolt unless you have replaced the concentric with a bolt and camber plate, as it is specially slotted for the concentric washers

It's the rear, so I'm pretty sure it's just a bolt...

The only rear part adjustable on a steel frame c6 is a concentric.

Sounds like you're talking about the bolt at the back of the arm that goes through the cradle and the sway bar bushing bracket attaches to as well. If so, it's just a bolt. It's probably going to be really hard to find an exact replacement. I'd check with some place like VetteNuts or similar.
Not sure why he was messing with that one unless he thought he could get more adjustment (or less binding) in the front by having the rear bolt loose. ??
