Front suspension hardware
Does anyone know where I can get new strut to spindle nut and bolts, and new control arm nuts and bolts? Mine are rusted so bad they snapped during the suspension rebuild.

No takers huh? Prolly check the dealership tommorrow. How do you get the rear passenger side bolt (by the y-pipe) out of the A arm?

I've got about 6 sets of those if you need a set, let me know. PM me or send me an e-mail.

PS: I only have the strut to spindle bolts, not the a-arm bolts. Do a search for "TomP", he posted where to get new bolts for your rebuild that won't break your bank.

Those bolts often freeze to the metal jacket of the original bushing. I used a chisel and hammer on the bolt head, hammering in and out and liberally dousing with penetrant, until I could work the bolt out. I suppose I worked for an hour or more. The new bolts were coated with anti-sieze.
