DJ Eberhart in Oregon can supply those M8 bolts with a flat that is ground to match the openings in the adjusters, along with the longer nut. If your coach has the OEM adjusters with a chamfer on the inside circumference that matches the radius made when the brackets were bent into place, you're in good shape. If you have the aftermarket set that is simply a disc, the flats are ground deeper than stock and easily stripped. The lack of a chamfer does not allow the adjusters to spin as the bolt is tightened and they turn into cups as the edge lands on the bracket radius rather than flat against the control arm.

Alex Ferrara also supplied them and may still. DJ bought up a bunch of used OEM adjusters from scrapped coaches and sells the complete set or the individual parts. The Moog sets will not work.

Good luck, and congrats on finding the issue.
