Replacement panhard bolts from the hardware store?
Replacement panhard bolts from the hardware store? Ok so I got the LCA's in, PITA and luckily I bought a new hardware kit for them earlier. But now I got the old panhard rod out, and of course the bolts broke off from being seized in there.
I know you can get the replacement hardware online, but I need it ASAP. Can panhard bolts be found at the hardware store? I've got a lot of choices near me, ACE, Menards, Home Depot, Lowes, True Value, ect. Since it's kind of a special stepped bolt I'm hoping I'm not screwed and have to buy online and wait.
Anyone deal with this before and know where I can get this hardware ASAP?

Everything on the rear was a PITA because the bolts were seized. So I had to cut torch and hammer half of them out.
Yeah it's common sense to go in and try and find the same ones lol.... duh
They are special bolts, 2 different thicknesses stepped and threads only half way up. I know many people have probably dealt with this so I just wanted to see if someone could tell me if they were able to get them from a hardware store or if you can't find them to save me the trouble of driving around all day

I'm thinking if I am able to find one strong enough, all that matters are the threads. I don't see the size stepping being there for a reason, so could I just use a thicker bolt with the same thread pattern..?
You're not going to find a direct replacement for that at any hardware store. Most won't even carry a metric bolt in that size, much less one with the tapered shank. You can temporarily replace it with a smaller grade 8 bolt. I find OSH and Ace Hardware have the best selection of grade 8.
Go to the junkyard for that bolt.

Verdad Gallardo Thanks for the link too sjsingle1, that's what I ended up doing. I got 2 of those 9/16 bolts, 2 snug fitting washers, and 2 nylock bolts, best I could get was grade 8. Got a 9/16 drill bit, gonna drill out both the mounting holes and use the new hardware. Should fit nice and snug
Thanks for the help
