Upper ball joint bolt replacement

Post by rustbucket »

Heyo

Last week I attempted to change the upper ball joints on my van. One side was fine, but on the other side the head of the bolt that attaches the ball joint to the wishbone snapped off.

Where can I find a replacement for this? Is it going to be impossible to find something suitable in a hardware store?

Thanks

Timesave, thank you very much. Ordered and on their way already :) Let's hope my clumsy hands don't snap all 5 of them
