front do sometimes like mud said, but not the back ones...you can get some from a hardware store and put anti-seize on them, should work for that application

Just FYI, if you get 'em from a hardware store you might be tempted to buy galvanized, on the theory that they won't rust up so bad. Don't do it. The galvanizing process, especially hot dipping, makes them a little softer and weaker than a standard grade 5.

yeah, I was gonna say, I think I'd go with Grade 5 or even 8. I sure thought all shocks came with bolts. Goes to show you, I have never had to replace many.
