While disassembling the front end, I broke a bolt that goes through the upper front control arm bushing on the passenger side when I tried to remove it. I didn't attempt to remove any other control arm bushing bolts tonight. Will this broken bolt be a problem? Is this a common bolt, or am I going to need to get one from a junkyard? TIA, Wes

i'm pretty sure that's a normal bolt. The only ones I know of that are special are the ones that go through the frame into the upper control arm cross shafts which are splined so they won't turn.

Thanks Tim. I'll go ahead and pull the others and try to match them up with some grade 8 hardware. Thanks again, Wes
