Upon removing my rear control arm lower on my "85" I sheared one of the bolts that attach it to the engine cradel. I looked at Rodney Dickman's and the Fiero store and saw nothing.
Anybody know where to get these bolts? looks like their grade 10.9 is what's stamped on the head. I better replace all four of them before they replace me.

Guys,

I replaced all of my suspension bolts and after all of the searching I went through to find a decent supply of high grade bolts I decided to stock up. If you don't mind a little wait on delivery (I'm in the UK) then let me know the length of bolt and I'll send some along with correct grade nuts.

Cheers
PK

Boy, do I know this problem. It's very hard to find oem type suspension bolts. I would try the junk yard or give Bob Parker a call on the phone (860) 642-4362 at Kick Hill Farms. He saves the fasteners when he dismantles Fieros. He's probably your best bet. If you're not familiar with Bob, check out his web site. http://www.kickhill.com/fiero.html

Your best way to reach him is by phone.

Try G.M.

I replaced a few of mine earlier this year, as I discovered that they were badly corroded during a poly install. My local G.M. dealer still had a listing for the bolt, washer, and nut, and they arrived within a few days of ordering them.
