2000-2005 Rear Lateral Arm Bolt Replacement

Recently gweg_b and I have been working on his 2003 Buick LeSabre, doing a suspension overhaul on it. One of the items that came up was how crusty the rear lateral arm cam bolts would be. When we replaced the lateral arms on his GXP back in 2019, I broke one of the cam bolts trying to get it out. Back then,we were able to find replacement cam bolts. It looks like GM has finally discontinued the bolt and there are very few left to be had anywhere.

After much digging, I believe Moog makes an aftermarket alternative. Moog K6367 is the part number. According to RockAuto, it fits the 2000-2005 LeSabre. Stands to reason, it would fit all of the other H Body cars of that era. Not sure why they're not listed. I did order a set, as I would like to do a side-by-side comparison of the bolts and washers we took out of the LeSabre. The original GM bolt is 11519299.

I'll follow up with a comparison of the two once the bolts show up tomorrow, but I wanted to put this here for future reference.

Received the Moog replacements today. Only things I noticed is that the bolt is slightly longer than the factory and the treads are placed differently. Doubt thats going to matter by the time you get it through the lateral arm. The other is that the washer is slightly smaller than the factory. They look pretty close.
