I need to replace the bolt that is attached to the knuckle (See uploaded photos). I don't know the name. It's a piece where you can insert the end of the strut and connects it using a strut bolt mount at the other side of this piece.

Thanks.

im sorry, but your pic didnt load? i would suggest going to a mitsubishi dealer, and explaining to the parts clerk what you need.... they can bring up a parts diagram, and you can choose exactly which bolt you need.....

I took the old bolt into the mitsubishi dealer because I can't find them in any auto parts store. They told me that, "I can't buy the shock mount itself." They also said, "I have to buy the whole knuckle to get the parts." I'm not sure if there lying and trying to make more money out of me. What is your intake on that?

i would believe them... however, there is a cheaper alternative... find a good used knuckle from a junkyard.... you will save a bunch of money, and get the last laugh.
