I ordered rear shocks but my fiance is asking me to make sure I get the correlating hardware (ie. replacement nuts/bolts/washers) in case the existing ones can't be reused. However, I cannot find sizes anywhere on the internet for the nuts/bolts/washers. I called autozone, where I ordered the shocks from, and the girl who answered the phone seemed just as clueless as myself. Please help!

9 time out of 10 when you order new shock absorbers, they will come with new bolts and bushings. If they don't come with it then after you get the old ones off you can go to a local parts or hardware store and they should be able to match the old ones up and get new ones for you.
