rear shock bolts?

im replacing my rear end and when it came off everything seemed fine and now that im reinstalling the rear lower shock bolt is damaged and i cant get the nut back on. its the bolt that is threaded on both ends with a built in spacer that goes through the shock on one side and through the rear end on the other side. anyone know the part number? Oriley's cant figure it out and im not finding it online.

They typically come with a new set of shocks. Not sure if they sold separately.

Re: rear shock bolts?

thanks guys. i was able ot locate some using google but no part store could figure it out without an oem part number. i was asked about 30 times what engine the car had so they could find shock bolts.

Yeah that's frustrating. They all used the same bolts regardless of engine...
