control arm question
while working on a fuel problem, I found my driver side lower control arm bolt was loose and the nut on the rear was missing. Seems that there should be some time of rubber bushing on the rear side with a nut/washer combo. I looked at the assy. manual, and it only shows a nut part #9422299 on both the front and back. I am sure I have a bolt in mine. Which is correct? and does anyone have a part # for the rubber on the back side of the control arm?

this is a picture of the control arm, it uses control arm bushings which have a large washer and bolt screwed into the shaft. The three empty holes bolt it to the frame.

so it is a bolt and not a nut per my assy. manual. Thank you! I hope I can find something local for purchase so I can for a drive this weekend!!! Quick question, is it OK to remove the front bolt to ensure I get the correct bolt to replace the missing one in the rear?
