    They are not threaded. The bolt is designed to cut its own threads. I always start the bolt backwards until I can feel it set into the old threads and then screw it in. If you just drive them in each time and cut new threads you eventually chew them up.

    Those parts should be easy to source aftermarket. Autozone usually has a little rack of them, or there is always Amazon.
