Source for replacement lca bolts

So, in our attempt to remove the broken driver's side rear cv axleshaft, we managed to snap one bolt and had to grind another one off. Is the Honda stealership the only source for these bolts? I know I can get the bushings I need from Napa or other parts stores but I didn't see any bolts. Thanks!

    i busted a rear LCA bolt as well when installing new suspension. for a temporary fix (which ended up being "temporary" for over a year) were bolts i got from Home Depot. just got something that looked about the same as the busted one in a strong grade steel.

    i eventually replaced it with an OEM bolt i pulled from a junkyard car.

    they are pretty cheap at the stealership though, i think less then $3 for one. its been a while since i looked it up though.

    thanks for the replies guys. quarters, seeing as i had a hardvtime removing the bolts here in my driveway, i'd think i might have the same luck at the salvage yard. maybe we'll go this weekend and try to get some.

    i'm thinking now of just upgrading my LCAs. any suggestions? blox etc? nothing too expensive though.

    i got a used set of skunk2's on ebay for like 50 bucks.. I'd try that

    I would have to do some digging but I probably have one. Probably quicker and easier to pick one up locally though.

    OEM LCAs are available from hondaautomotiveparts.com for $65, partstrain.com for between $80-$110. Salvage yard would obviously be cheaper but the original one from my wagon is still okay. I think I'm just going to buy the bushings from Napa and have my dad press them in at work for now and look to upgrade next time. I need to get this car up and running by the weekend. Thanks for all the help everyone.

    I had to buy a lower LCA bolt, I think it was damn near $9 a pop.
