lower strut bolt

[3bears]

I anticipate that I might need a new lower strut bolt where strut mounts to lower control arms. What is there now...the strut bushing is all beat to sheep and it has been banging on the strut bolt for who knows how long, ive only owned it 4 months and it was bad when I bought it.. The strut is shot and sagging so bad now I cant mount my summer tires. 265/75/16. Even the winter 245/70/16 rubs now. I need to put in new struts over the next few days....well they are used ( 40k kybs and new springs at the time, take offs from a lift) but to hold me over till later this summer when I do a lift. with new struts/shocks and springs on all 4 corners.

So is the lower bolt something that I can get at a auto parts store or even a hardware store...is it special. I have not checked with the local dealer ( only one in town) he is often pretty limited on stuff and takes 2 weeks to order things. In 2 weeks I have a 600 mile round trip so really want my summer tires on
If it has to be dealer.... know the part # ?

There is a sleeve inside the rubber bushing. I’d imagine it would protect the bolt somewhat. I’d bet yours is ok still.

It would be a tough one to find at the hardware store as it’s solid for its length through the bushing and just threaded on the end. From memory anyway.....

I’d reuse the old and order new dealer ones if you think you need them. Easy to change out later if you need to.

I had one gall on me - with no signs that it would (rust free, etc.) and had to cut it off. Not sure what happened. Luckily, I had extras from my parts truck...
