Default Help finding bolt replacement

I lost one of these bolts circled in red that attach the front strut casing to the frame. They are all the same bolt type but I can’t find any replacements online or part number.

What year, model, and which suspension? Edit:
Tske a look here and see if you can find the part you seek.
I changed this post after realizing that what I found was not exactly right. But maybe you can find it.

These are nuts, right not bolts? I'm still looking for them.

I'm not sure but I may have been right the first time. I looked at front suspension components. It shows the the shock mounting. And it shows part 9 in the illustration. That part is called a multi-purpose nut. The illustration does not show the casting, but it does show the studs that would protrude through the casting, where the nuts would be installed. The nuts are cheap enough. You could go to dealer with that part number and see if it right.

I know he wrote bolt and circled a part. Is it a bolt? Look at illustration in post 3. Its shown as a nut. Am I reading it wrong. I'm not seeing bolt there.

Am I looking at the wrong part?

Edit: yes, looking at the wrong part.

He's asking about the bolts that attach the shock mounting bracket to the chassis, not the nuts that attach the shock assembly to the mounting bracket.

His first pic with the bolts circled... If you look between the two bolts in red on the left down inside you see the black nut. Different item.

Your post #3, the diagram you can see the bolt heads to the lower left (not highlighted in the diagram).

The bolts attach the casting to the chassis. The studs attach the strut to the casting.

O)K. Yes. I am looking at the wrong part. I'm "disoriented". I assume its the one in green then?

Take a look here, the support is #3 on the diagram, below it lists Related Parts and shows M6x1x23 Multi-Purpose Bolt, Part # 11519376. Could be it.

Remove one, measure it and get comparable quality from McMaster-Carr or comparable.

Yup. And as noted, the exploded parts view of that does not show the fasteners. There are some bolt listed there, but their pictures don't seem to match the bolt circled.

I've got a similar set and the disk magnet on a telescope rod. Don't use them much, but all have paid for themselves in emergency trips to Harbor Freight or Home Depot. Used the disk last Saturday to find a spring from my pool filter that went sailing off into a patch of Lantana ground cover. Wife appreciates the lack of cussin' and swearin' as well.
