Default Can't find the lower control arm bolts online?

I am looking for a replacement lower control arm bolt (the bolt that attaches the control arm to the body) I had to cut off on of the bolts to install my lift and i replaced it with a bolt from the hardware store but it was not a grade 8 so id rather just buy the oem part.

I looked online and I cannot find just the bolt on any of the part websites.

Any ideas?

you probably won't find a dedicated new one online. Just pick up a new grade 8 bolt

Factory bolts are M14 x 2.0 pitch x 120mm long, class 10.9, flange head, nipple tip.

For a Factory set, yes.

Or if you have a Fastenal or a real hardware store (not HD or Slowes) you can save shipping and get them for less.

Thanks,

I called and they are going to have them tomorrow and am going to pick them up tomorrow.

Weird part is I bought a 4in 1/2 13 thread and the stock nut screwed on perfectly and torqued on to the bolt.

No problem. I replaced all the factory bolts when I did my lift.

I found an SAE size that fit through the control arm bushings but dont remeber what it was. After looking into it I decide to go with Factory size due to the weld nuts inside the body for the leaf springs. I like to keep it uniform.

Default Find bolts reasonable

I am just going through the same issue. I found mine at McMaster Carr online. Hugh selection of everything. Catalog is user friendly. Order on the weekend you will probably have it on Monday. No free shipping from these guys but free isn't always free. If you do not understanding the grading, type in their search "About bolts"

Yep. If you can't find it at Fastenal or McMaster-Carr, it probably doesn't exist.
