Bolt Thread Experts Speak Up!!!
I have misplaced the four (2 each side) bolts that attach the front lower shock to the lower control arm. If anyone out there is able to share with me the bolt size, thread, and length I would be very appreciative.
I can't believe I have misplaced them and the vedor sites don't show me where I can buy four new ones, so if anyone knows the size please sound off....
Thank you very much.

5/16-18 coarse bolts about 1" in length out to do the trick for you. Use grade 5 or grade 8 bolts. Don't forget regual and lock washers.
Sometimes I have found the weldnut in the lower control arm stripped, you can use a serrated flange nut stacked on top of the weldnut to hold everything together if that is the case.
