I'm desperately trying to find the lower shock bolt and nut that fits
a 99 Pontiac Montana. I called several dealers and part stores and
it's either a non-stock item or an unavailable part. Can anyone tell
me where I can find this bolt or a generic replacement bolt? Since
dealers don't have the original bolt in stock would anyone know what
they use instead? I couldn't find the part number in the service
manual so if anyone knows the part number please let me know.

Thanks in advance,

Do you have the old bolt? A good hardware supply (*not* an
orange-colored home repair store) should be able to fix you up, assuming
you know length, diameter, and thread pitch. 10.9 is a strength rating,
not a size - your new bolt should be rated 10.9 or higher.

Just use a hardened bolt of the same length and diameter.
