What year Mustang?

Do you still have the old ones or are they damaged?

Call the dealer to get the correct ones. If they dont have them you will have to find some grade 8 bolts at the hardware store, or maybe at your local pick-n-pull.

theyre for my 86. im putting in a tubular k-member and a-arms. ive still got the bolts from the original suspension i just figured new bolts would be cheap insurance. may still use the old ones pending on how they look once i pull the stock k-member.

I believe they are 16 mm (.630)from the factory.The originals are discontinued.
They are superceded to a new number N808476S301.Try that and if no luck
find a good bolt store and look at 5/8s Grade 8s(.625).Take a control arm
with you to check.Get 5/8s locking nuts of some sort also.
