Hi Matt,
The problem is that a socket and torque wrench cannot be used on at least one of those bolts without removing the nearby anti-roll bar saddle clamp. The bolts for that are recessed with a non-standard size head, smaller than you'd imagine and probably rusted in. However, with the right tools and patience it can be done. You've found out what can happen when someone thinks that a torque wrench is unnecessary.
Unless damaged, the existing bush housing bolts can be re-used. There's no need for new ones.
