Bent my bolt

I've bent one of my A-arm or control arm (whatever you want to call it) bolts. Couldn't I go to Lowes and get a replacement as long as it was the same grade metal or find a stainless steel bolt?

I would go with grade 8 instead of stainless (unless its a grade 8 stainless). Is this a lower arm? If so, Spohn sells a set of lower bolts. SCandC has them for about $13, I think.

Yes, it's the lower control arm. What does SCandC stand for?

We have an Ace hardware around here, SoCal, thats sells grade 8 bolts in almost every length and thread pitch, Berg Hardware has em too. I think they are around a dollar each. I've used and they hold up fine.
