    All it does is hold the leafs together. You should be able to pick up another one at a local auto parts store.

    any bolt from the hardware store should work as long as it's long enough (and not too long).

    No torque value for them. Just get them snug, with the leafs all touching.

    those screws were junk. and now that little flat part on top of the shock you need to hold on to to take the nut off just snapped off.. this project is killing me!
