US front strut mount part number

does anybody know or know where I can find the part number for the front strut mount? it's the triangular piece with the three bolts that extend into the engine bay just over the wheel wells.

i recently broke a bolt during an install and need to replace it.

or better yet, does anybody know if the bolt can be replaced without getting a new mount?

The part itself is not that expensive, something under 50 dollars and a dealer should be able to find the p/n without a problem. Having said that, take the part off (you will need power tools and a spring compressor to do that), put it in a suitable vise and hammer the bolt out. It is only pressed into the part. You can then just use a grade 8 metric bolt and bob's your uncle.
Hope this helps......
