anyone have any ideas how to fix a control arm where the bolts for the
shock mount have ripped through? Is there any such thing as a washer
with a square hole in it? Don't want to replace control arm, as I don't
have another.

If worse comes to worse I will just weld in some regular washers and use
regular bolts, but the ability to use carriage bolts would be kinda nice.

I think that is good advice.

I never quite understood the use of carriage bolts as they, (I believe),
are not available in grade 5. That is a fairly high stress repetitious
function.

BTW, please check (when you can) on dem thar' gauges...
