Knuckle to Strut bolt

Attempting to take the bolts out of my car today, and I stripped one of them (Had to use alot of heat and muscle) My question is, does anyone know what part number they are?

The part # I am looking for is number 3 below in the picture. I can find the nuts from STM's OEM section of the site, but I am having a hard time finding the bolt.

seems like a common problem of these not coming out.

MU000284 - For the top bolt.
MU140067 - Bottom bolt.

Both bolts are different. It was either the top or bottom one that were camber bolts.

Coat the new bolts w/ anti-seize. It'll save a lot of headaches in the future

^^ I would recommend this as well.
The top bolt is the camber bolt on mine.

I stripped that mother ****er so bad too.

I ended up putting in a grade 8 bolt with a lock washer till the bolts came in at mitsubishi.

The bolt and nit is like 30-40 bucks.

Yeah I always coat anything suspension-wise with anti sieze. I live in new england, so the rust gets in everywhere pretty easily. The closest mitsu dealership I have to me is like 40 miles south. I'm trying to avoid that place because the owners are idiots, but I'll see if a Chrysler or dodge dealership can hook me up.

The top bolt has nearly all of its threading stripped out to a smooth finish. I still haven't taken the bottom bolt out, I'll be doing that tonight. I'm going with new coilovers in a couple of weeks so I'll probably just order all new hardware for all four corners.

What size/thread pitch grade 8 bolts did you use?
