Default Bolt threads on upper arm is screwed.. Can I replace it?



On the upper-arm there is a pin you remove then you unscrew the 17mm nut well. The threading on the bolt is really messed up because I used the pitman puller and it slide off the edge and screwed up the threading horribly and now the nut won't screw back.. Is it replacable? or would I have to get a new upper arm?

Btw, are the rear upper arms on a 97-01 base the same as a 92-96.. I am looking at pics and they look the same. I found some on ebay only for 97-01 and none for 92-96 and i need some desperately!!!


Also does anyone know the the bolt size for it? I am gonna cop a re-threader to see if I can restore the threads a bit. My dad went to autozone and said it was M12 x 1.25 but I don't trust them

run a tap or die thru it
could possibly save the threads

edit: i didnt see that you edited
but bring the castle nut bolt with you to autozone to find the threading

are you talking about the anchor bolts? or the through bolt that goes through the bushing?? i would just try to retap it. if not take the nut and bolt to autozone, and if that fails, go to a junkyard.
