When I bought my car, the steering arm was loose on the passenger side and had worn to the point of mandantory replacement. I found the arm on a salvage unit but went to the dealer for the bolts as I was unsure of being able to reuse a self-locking bolt in such a critical point.
Most likely, most will say just clean the threads and reapply Loctite. However, if the bolts are worn, and I am assuming this is why they were removed, then the only source for new ones might be the dealer. I know this isn't a clear cut answer but this is probably a judgement call on why the bolts were removed and the appearance of wear.
