Question Where to get lower control arm bolts from?

Beside the *********** is there another source? I'm relly not into paying 42.00 bucks a bolt and 9.00 a washer

I got them from a dodge dealer I'm sure I paid around 40$ for both, I reused the outter washer.

I ended up using a torch to cut the old bolts off, as they were siezed in the bushing, got bushings from napa around 20$ each

Had to replace both they were rusted in place had to put lots of heat on them but both were toast.Looked like the bolts had been stretched at one time?
