Need rear control arm alignment bolts with washers

Category: Steering & Suspension
Price: $25
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part Fits (you may select multiples): Series I

I am in desperate need of the alignment bolts and washers to the toe arm and trail arm (I believe those are the two to adjust your alignment with)
I will pay 25 bucks plus ship whoever can get me these. The sooner I have these the sooner I can finally drive my car again!
Thanks!

Dealer. These are not something you want to get used.

yep, replaced my rear ones a while back and have a new set of front ones ready to go in. They stretch and get weak over time, plus the locating slot in the slide-in cam under the nut wallows out and you start to lose max adjustment range when it doesn't line up fully with the opposing cam under the bolt head

be sure to slather the inner surface of the bushing sleeve and the outer surface of the adjuster bolt with anti-seize before installing them. They have been known to rust and freeze up without any lube applied, which means cutting them out for replacement.
