like new from a bolt store? I wouldnt suggest it as the ones from factory have a specific shank length and if you buy ones from a bolt store they will almost without a doubt end up resting on the threads at one end0. I know it probably won't make much of a difference in the rear world but it's a good practice to avoid sheared bolts and extra slop. With a rod end trailing arm it might even make a knocking sound.
