UCA mounting bolt
I gotta 99 Dakota rwd that I am putting a new upper control arm on because of bad bushings. It’s got these T headed hex bolts that are discontinued that mount the control and adjust camber. I stripped one out and am wondering what my options are. Nobody has this part, a guy will make me 4 of them for $150. I’m going down to the junkyard to see if I can find any but I’m wondering if I can just use the same size hex bolt and a washer instead? I firgure that’s what people are doing since they stopped making them.

So yeah junkyards won’t sell them to you unless you buy the whole arm. Pick apart you can take them off yourself and buy the bolts. I just can’t believe that their isn’t another alternative out there. I mean if these are necessary why isn’t someone making money off them. Anyway I got some out of pick a part. Breaker bar and pblaster. Put some rustoration on them with a new nut and the threads look awesome. FYI if you are looking for the lower control arm bolt closest to the rack and pinion it’s the leaf spring bolt.
