Unhappy Stupid Curbs...

So I hit a patch of ice last night and hit a curb pretty hard. I knocked out one of my upper control arm bolts (stripped threading and all). I was curious if this bolt was more of a generic part or something that is specialized to Evos. If anyone could help me out here that would be great... I need the car fixed ASAP and want to order the part today. I already checked the part number page and it only gave the part number for the control arm assembly. Also checked mitsubishipartswarehouse and they had nothing on it.

Thank you in advance.

I was able to find this diagram also, but unless I am confusing my wording or parts, there are two bolts holding the arm in. It only shows one on this diagram so I am not sure it is the one I am looking for. Thanks for the help.

Drawing often don't show multiple identical parts.

Your lucky I'd say. Winter of 2010 I hit a curb sideways and bent my rear axle, broke the abs ring teeth and broke a rim in half. Literally

I actually did the same type of thing before. Rim was done for, had to replace axle and hub... not a cheap fix!

I have a friend with a auto shop who found the parts and got it all done no problem for me. Buuuut still need a new bearing. Live and learn....
