replacing shocks

I'm getting new shocks while I am rebuilding the front end of my nova. The shocks came with new upper mounting hardware for the upper control arm but I also need the lower because it was trashed. It's the two clips that go on the bottom control arm that the screw threads into from the bottom to hold the bottom part of the shock to the lower control arm. I need to get two for each side, does anyone know what these are called??
Thanks in advance,
Dennis

Those clips were only there to help the assembly line workers slap everything together, they are not needed. Just get high grade bolts, nuts and washers of the appropriate size and all will be fine. I put my lower shock bolts in from the top, with the nuts on the bottom and washers on both sides.

Thanks for the reply, that is good to know!! I'll just take a trip to the hardware store and all will be good :)
