I need 1 of the bolts and 3 of the nuts in the one picture. As u can see they're stripped to hell. If anyone can give me a hand on getting these that would be great.

why not just get some grade 8 bolts? I dont see what so special about them.

i went everywhere and there were no matches. its a specialized bolt. The sleeve gets slightly smaller where the threading starts and theres no matches for that nut for some reason. I went to ace hardware, autozone, fastenall, even the nissan dealership. The only way i can get them is if i get them off another 240 or i order the entire drive shaft assembly from nissan. For some reason they cant just order the bolts, its retarded

^ i still dont think thats right,

a bolt is a bolt, get one thats the same size, thread lock, your good.

^ Yes Chase, nut is a nut, a bolt is a bolt, but there's millions of different sizes and shapes and finding a match gets difficult. If u want come over and ill give u the bolt so u can find a match. Ill give u $10 if u can find me a match at a store or shop somewhere here in town

btw, if its a little different, it'll throw the drive shaft off balance so it has to be same weight and everything
