Looking for subframe cradle bolt and washer. Need bad

[Blueforce]

Greetings.

I was hoping someone can help me find the bolts(about 6 inches long) and the washers that hold the subframe cradle onto the car. I lost one and the other 3 were loose so I almost lost my entire rear suspension. It was flopping around back there which isn't good.

I have searched online everywhere, GM parts direct, gm warehouse, I've called the dealerships and I have aquired the bolt, GM dealership and several of the customer service people I have talked to online claim the washer is an aftermarket part but I don't believe it is. I still need the washer at the least. I want a spare or two if I can get them just in case. Here's a picture of what I'm looking for.

If you have a spare vehicle, pop one bolt out and take it to a hardware store. It's most likely a standard grade 10.9 metric bolt and washer.

Searching on here, the bolt specs are m16-2x127. He might have trouble finding one a most hardware stores even if he went to a 130 or 140mm length. Fastenal has them but they cost about the same as oem. Same with EBAY, about the same price.

Yeah, McMaster has them between $3.XX and $12.XX depending on coating and length of thread. That's just how much they cost, it seems--not much markup because GM. I guess the best option at this point is whatever OP can get the quickest.

if your talking about the large cup that holds the bushing, good luck. Mine was damaged and dealer said i had to order the entire cradle to get one as it is part of the component.

They said to try a junkyard and see if they would sell one for me. I ended up reforming mine and reusing it. Dont know it a junkyard will part with one or not as i didnt try.

Yeah I'm mostly in need of the sunken washer thing. I finally got the bolt after like a week of trying. Washer is another story but I called a parts yard and they claim they are sending me some and I guess we'll see what happens when they arrive. Took several hours of searching but I find a parts place by accident searching through Camaros and it worked out.

Sorry, I missed the part about the washer. Good luck.

Thanks man! If the parts I receive from the part guy aren't the right parts I'll contact this guy and see if he still has them.

Update: I found the bolts and washers from a parts yard for really cheap and they are perfect for what I need. I guess the solution is to look into parts yard for stuff if you need anything.
