1998 4x4 lower control arm bolts
My son and I have replaced front axle because control arm mounts had rusted off-right now just have 4 standard 8 hardness bolts holding it up in place, will connect steering parts today.
Question is about the concentric lower arms bolts--best I can find is around $100/pair but Moog has a "kit" for replacements around $17 it is Moog part K100047.
I have found only four Amazon reviews on this part and is not a good part.
Anyone have tried these Moog bolts?
Thanks, Richie

junk yard+ more Moog
Not this part of the world. Probably can't imagine that the mounts rusted off, besides, the only way to get them out is sawzall or grind off the bolts because they stuck inside the bushings.
update:
I have one control arm washer that was left from the original axle...it measures about 45mm diameter...the Moog K100047 specs. say they are 36mm....that's like going from +-3 degree to +-1 1/2 degree when aligned. Not sure if the alignment guy can deal with that.

Get the ones from Amazon, should work just fine for ya.
You are right that it's just not worth it going to a junkyard for them for the reasons you stated.
