i have the same situation. I am doing the same thing because I had so cut most of my bolts out thanks go new york winters and salty roads. I have just been taking my bushings or whatever i need the bolt for to the hardware store and making sure the length is right and the thickest I can. Make sure you get the hardest rating available or you will have a bad day out on the road.

uppers are m12x1.75x90mm grade 10.9

specs for lowers aren't given in the 22P, but they are M12x 1.75 and are 9 1/2 inches (about 240 mm) grade 10.9

you probably wont find these at ace or home depot etc. i had to go to an industrial supply to get mine when i had to cut a few off. if you get one from the local hardware store, its likely to be a 8.8 which is equivalent to a grade 5 sae bolt. thats no good. also make sure to get new lock nuts, standard nuts will back off. the very last thread on the nuts are boogered up so they cant back off

Probably the best place to get them is Monster Parts.com http://www.trademotion.com/...ex.cfm?siteid=214632

P/N for the upper bolt is 10023688 ($6.82 ea) , for the lower is 11514112 ($4.04 ea.)

P22 doesn't show a part number for the nuts, sorry.

I just got done rebuilding the suspension my '87. I found the lower c arm bolts at lowe's. I don't know if all the lowe's stores are carrying them. The upper you will have to order though. I never expected to find them there.
