Broke lower strut mounting bolt on 2014 F-150
I've obviously been working out to hard at the gym and I snapped one of the lower strut bolts on my 2014 F-150 last night when I was installing my leveling kit. As you all know, in 2014 they decided to change from the single bolt mount system to a two bolt craddle where the bolts are pressed into the mount similar to a wheel stud.
Here are pictures of a good bolt.
Ford "can't" sell me just the bolt by itself and want me to buy the whole strut which I think is a little ridiculous. Because its so close to a wheel stud I figure they have to use the same bolt on something else and as such I should be able to source one if I ask for it by a different name. Any ideas? Or a part number?
The third party solutions that I have found with similar dimensions are either ARP part#100-7703 work or even better H.Paulin's part# 561-411
Help?
