Hi Everyone, we purchased a 2020 Coachmen Mirada 35OS. After driving it home from the dealer in Houston to our house in Austin, I decided suspension upgrades were in order. I just installed a rear trac bar and sumo springs in the front. I also purchased and was going to install a roadmaster AUX rear anti-swaybar and safe-t-plus sterring stabilizer. Well, as I was going to install the sway bar, the bolts that you remove on the frame to attach the frame bracket have kind of broken. THe nut on the inside of the frame has a metal tab to keep it from spinning and it has broken due to the excessive amount of rust. So the bold and nut just spin. I am probably going to ask a neighbor to assist me with one person using the impact wrnech and the other holding the nut. If that does not work, I guess my next option is to cut the bolt as I have heard many service centers end up doing that when they can't get the bolt loose.

My question is where would I get replacement bolts and nuts? I only attempted one side so I am not sure if the other side is in the same situation. For a modest DIY'er, Iwas looking forward to completing all of these mods myself and saving some money. I guess I could always take it some where but like to take pride in the work I do. Thanks in adavance for any help!
