I would think a normal grade 8 bolt could be used as a replacement, no?
As soon as I read the subject on my email notification, I thought the same thing! Wrong brain workings.

Not the lower control arm bolt - DOH!

I don't know why you guys have such issues with rust... I have 145k and my bolts are like brand new.
It's called SALT, plus, methinks is the crappy steel that Dodge seems to use a lot of.

Never-seize is a great friend.
