If you mean the 2 bolts that hold the strut to the hub then get them from Vw, not expensive but needs to be a higher grade then you can buy.

Correct size but they are a higher strength bolt than standard over the counter items.

Not 100% sure but they and the nut have a built in washer as well, they were not expensive from Vw and it is not something you want to fail really.
