HELP! What kind of Shocks or struts etc...

What kind of struts do we use in the front, Im a complete idiot and when I took off my strut bar to make it easier to get to my manifold, I completely forgot to put the nuts back on and when I lowered the car back down the bolt didnt allign right and snapped my passenger bolt right off. So now I figure I will just get some new ones. But Im not sure which kind to buy, or what Im even looking for.. Im such a tard! Someone please help!!!

Isnt it possible to buy aftermarket ones, either ones from autozone, or like pepboys? Arg and Saturn service department is closed tomorrow! I realize that the ones from pepboys are no way similar performance wize to the saturn ones.. OH well.. Guess I gotta drive the Mustang GT till I can get it fixed!

Ya got me... Saturn might not even have one in stock... they had to order my brakes pads and intercooler pump... I would think a shock would have to be as well, it's not like they're gonna be changing many of them yet...

The upper strut mount is serviced seperately IIRC.
But I doubt you'll find a dealer that stocks them.
