need help bad

I was taking my front lower control arms off at the back two mounts to install my new springs when I came across a big problem. While taking the bolts out on the drivers side I striped the threads off the bolt. I've been to every auto store around and no one has one. I need to know where I should go to find one. Also I cannot get the passenger side bolts to move at all. If anyone has any tips they would be very useful. thanks

I would go to a harware store and try and match it up that way, a chevy dealer might not be a bad place to try either. A regular auto parts place probably wont have it. For getting out the stuck nut and bolt I would spray with some PB blaster or some other rust destroyer. If that wont work I would move to a torch using MAPP gas.

go to gm parts. it's a special bolt you wouldn't want to run a bolt from hardwear store, even grade 8 wouldn't work right. if bolt is struck try heat, or cold.
