I was working on my front shocks over the weekend and when I backed the bolt out (the one on the front drivers side on the lower control arm) I noticed that the threads were pretty well stripped. I also noticed a lot of metal came out of the control arm. I tried a new bolt but it wouldn't tighten. So, it looks as though the threads on the lower control arm are stripped too.
I want to install a helicoil kit but I haven't done it before and I don't know what size to get. Has anyone done it or know what I need to get? The help is appreciated as I took it to a shop today and they said they couldn't get the helicoil (of course they have had my truck all day too). But they only tried to get it from the Dodge dealership.
