Default Caster Adjuster?

hey everyone i was under my truck recently and i noticed that me caster adjuster broke and the lower control arm just slides around now. i was wondering if anyone knew where to get new ones possibly a little stronger. ive checked rockauto and ebay. i cant seem to find it anywhere even on google. if anyone has a set i am willing to buy them. thanks again
