I've read your post before. Thanks for your help. I have everything ready, new lower arms, new struts w/ springs, new strut lower bolt and nut, all the nuts and washers for lower arms. Just need bolts.

 

I'm waiting for a response from a supplier that I emailed yesterday about the bolts. I'd rather help you find the actual parts than have you pay as much as you might end up paying for custom parts. But I'll also get the shipping quote Tomorrow for the one bolt, just in case.

Hopefully I hear back about the bolts sooner rather than later.

 

Alright, let me know what you find out.

 

I have the same problem on my Raider. Checked with Mitsu Dealer, said the same thing, "backordered". I'm parking it until I can get the new Bolts and Struts. Too much bouncing.

 

The parts manual in the sticky on this forum contains all Mopar part numbers. I took the page on the front suspension to a local dealership and with that part number (06508211AA), I was able to get the 4 bolts I needed. The nuts and associated washer I needed to reuse, but that was OK with me. See if that helps you. Mopar usually has various central customer service locations where you can let them know what you "think" or ask for guidance, etc. This might be helpful since it's their screwed up inventory that makes these trucks almost unfixable & really could be considered a safety issue by Chrysler - you should be able to get a contact number from the local dealership

In addition, the bushings for the lower control arm (3 bushings per & 2 types) also aren't available from this inventory system.

 

I have been in contact with corporate. Their answer is maybe January. This is why I have to to go to a machine shop once I get one bolt to copy.

 

And I'm getting tired of paying for a rental car, and dodge doesn't have an answer or solution. I'm sure there are a lot of trucks sitting, as of today over 240 bolts are on order, with no eta from corporate.

 

I'll never buy a Chrysler product again, I should have learned my lesson when the trans in my 05 grand Cherokee exploded with 30k miles. I was on cruise control on the way back from minnessota doing 70 when wham!!!! Engine red lined, hit the brakes and pulled to the shoulder. Get out trans fluid all over, small fires under the hood. Had it towed to a local dealership, had to pay for my own rental to get back home which Chrysler refused to pay for. Jeep was still under warranty. Shop called and said they dropped the trans pan and the whole trans fell out on the shop floor, it grenaded. Never again buy any type of Chrysler product.

 

This site seems to have the parts available. I've ordered from them in the past.

Click on the image on 'the bolt' page and zoom to see all of the parts.

No, no one here is understanding me. These bolts have been on backorder for at least two months and are still for at least another two months. I've been in contact with every local dealer, had them run searches. And as I've said in previous posts, I've talked with corporate. I've even called Canada dealerships.
