Default Pinion angle adjustment bolts (cam bolts)

Hello all,
Anybody know if the factory lower arm cam bolts are available? I was under my truck today greasing all the fittings and noticed that the drivers side doesnt have the cam bolt, just a bolt and a fender washer. The only replacement i can find is a Moog part, but the reviews for it are marginal at best because it doesnt have the timing marks on it to dial it in like the factory ones do and most complain about how quickly they rust/deteriorate.

Regards,

Yep. They're sold some places like lift kit sites.

Yes, they are still available. Just be aware that they are not the same bolts throughout the 2nd gen Dodge truck run from '94 - '01. Somewhere in the later year trucks, Dodge went to slightly larger bolts/nuts/washers. Also, when installing your new bolts, use some anti-seize to cut down on the rust/maintenance issues.
