Smile Lower front shock bolt

I am looking for one, of two front lower shock bolts (two bolts on each front shock) for my 2004 Dodge Dakota 2wd 4.7 liter V8 A/T SLT quad cab.
The bolt head is rounded off. Once I get it out, I am going to need a new one. The Dodge part number is 6503792. It has been discontinued by the manufacturer.

Might be worth a trip to pull a part place.

If anyone knows where I could get a bushing rebuild kit or something along those lines I would appreciate it...the lower bushing wore out on my front shock and broke the mount that the previously mentioned bolts hold on...so do I need to buy shocks or is there a kit I can buy for cheaper? I can't find anything even remotely similar to that particular part and I'm about to go all blacksmith on a piece of allthread and grind down a hockey puck to rebuild it lmao!

Don't think you can get those separately. Need new shocks.

While you CAN replace them, usually by the time they are shot, so is the shock.If it has 40-50,000 miles on it, the shock needs replacement.
