lower front suspension arm hardware
After the track bar issue, my next hurdle has been the lower front suspention "links". The lower bolt, the one with the cam adjuster, is on tighter than four hours with a can of penetrating oil and the heaviest setting on my impact wrench can handle. I'm getting ready to cut it off. Can I find this hardware at an Autozone or is it too "special"?

After reading Iceman's advice on another thread, I went back to the garage, cussed my head off and proceeded to tear the bolt in half with my breaker bar and an extention pipe (see attached picture of my handy work). I called Autozone and they cannot get the bolt for me so my question to the forum is now: Anyone know a good specialty hardware supplier?

Thanks, guys. I'll call the dealer tomorrow and see if they can order me a few.
Padodgeram: I did mark the cam groove on the frame, so once I get the replacement bolts, I'll just cut off the other side and be done. This is while installing the lift kit. 3" Skyjacker suspension kit comes with lower links - I didn't expect them to be this much trouble to replace.

RE: lower front suspension arm hardware
Tough in humid areas you say, how about salty-humid areas? I just moved from Indian Rocks Beach, FL, 1 block from the Gulf of Mexico (where the truck spent the last 4 years) to Bristol, RI, half a mile from Naragansett Bay. I'm burning through lots of penetrating fluid during this project...
