I just removed the rear shocks of a 2001 Ram 2500 4x4 only to find that: 1 they are the original shocks 2: the bolts are real bad.
Where is a good place to start looking for replacements?

 

Hardware store? Take your old bolt and they can match them. Or you can go to the dealer and pay $$$ for the same bolt the hardware store has for ¢¢¢

I recently replaced mine just can't remember what the bolt looked like...
In any case if it's not a specialty bolt (threaded at the end but not where the bushing rides is typical) make sure you get proper Grade bolts/nuts, preferably Grade 8, (cheap insurance) don't buy un-graded bolts who knows what they're made of especially junk hardware from overseas. I have found Ace hardware a good place to look for misc hard to find hardware, perhaps there is one in your area.

If it's not a standard off the shelf hardware store part, the dealer, wrecking yard, or someone parting their truck out are your options.

 

Best bet is a Hardware Store, take it in and show the guys working and they will hook you up with what you need. Best part is, you only have to buy one and not a whole box full.
