Need Ecentric washer & Bolt for alignment

The ecentric washer that adjusts the caster on the trailing arms is stripped inside. I can turn the bolt and one side turns normal but the other side sits still.

What would be a part # and the best place to buy?

Come on guys, It's the lower control arm cam bolt and washer that controls the caster adjustment.
This bolt has been a pain to keep the alignment correct.

I pulled the bolt and washer out today, the bolt has a flat side on the shaft and the washer hole matches the bolt. When the bolt turns, it turns the eccentric washer and changes the degree of the caster. Mine, the bolt and washer rounded, this allowed the bolt to turn and washer never moves.

The Dodge dealer that's usually high on their parts can order the bolt and washer, for $9.00 a piece. Not bad, $27 for one bolt and two washers. I don't have the part numbers with me right, but I'll post them tomorrow for everybody.
