Rear Strut Mount Bolt?

I picked up a '01 GT, the front struts were recently replaced, but not the rears. Well, I found out why!
I dug in to replace them, and 18 years of rust has me defeated. First, the bolt that holds the strut snapped, then, I had to cut the strut off. Well, in doing so, the strut mount in the knuckle took a beating.
I'm stuck now because I can't find a replacement for it, and I was wondering if anyone here has a part number, or can point me in the right direction.

Thank you!

Best bet is ebay or a local salvage yard. I don't think they are available new anymore. Also cross reference with dodge stratus coupe parts. Might get lucky there.

To find out what your part number is, Google "oem mitsubishi parts" and use one of the websites that comes up. That's all I do when people ask for oem part numbers.

How much did they cost and where did you get them. I think people have been having a hard time finding the knuckles for these cars.
