Default Front control arm bolt
I had to cut the vertical bolts on my front lower control arms to get them off. They were seized up in the insert really bad. My question is, do I have to use the special bolt with the little tab to replace them or can I just buy some bolts of the same size from the hardware store? Thanks.

I would definitely recommend getting another set of the factory bolts because those bolts with tab help keep the rearmost mounting point of the front a-arm from moving and messing up the alignment.
