My husband was changing the rear passenger strut and shocks on our 06 Honda Odyssey and found the Lower strut bolt bent. He removed it, but we are unable to find a replacement. We have tried the Honda dealership, AutoZone, and advance auto parts. Has anyone replaced just this bolt that can tell me where to get it our order it?

 

Honda hardware are designed very specifically and generic replacement bolts are not advised.

How is it possible that the dealer would not have the bolt available? There's nothing showing any part being discontinued.

Apparently they said they didn't have just the bolt, we would have to buy the whole assembly.

 

I took a quick look, and saw the following:

Do either of the above parts diagrams show the part that is bent? They break the parts into so many component pages that it sometimes takes a while to find the correct page (at least for me). - Jim

 

try bolt kit #35. $27

 

First of, how come the bolt is bent? Is anything else bent: shock, arm, ... ?

Assuming nothing but the bolt is bent you should be able to order/buy the bolt in question at a dealers or online. A good photo of the situation to where the bolt attaches to would make sure which bolt it is so we can identify it in the rear lower arm diagram to which the rear shock absorber diagram refers.

I begin to think the bolt in quesion is fixed to/in the hub (parts 5,6).
