Default Need Help Identifying Nut

Hey all,

Installed lowering bolts about a week ago and have adjusted the passenger side several times since to level out the back of the car. made it to that point after measuring today.

Unsure if related to the rain, my now-asjusted real suspension, or just a side effect of having a 37 year old vehicle, but I found this in the driveway today.




Any help identifying if this is C4 hardware is appreciated, just looking for peace of mind. New to all of this.

Lord

Hard to tell from that photo but it looks like an adjusting barrel that usually is on a threaded rod. I would check the various linkages on the car, both rods and cables, just for some peace of mind. Unfortunately I have nothing specific.

Actually…that looks like it came out of a piece of IKEA furniture…ya know that particle board type. It slides into a hole, you use a screwdriver in that slot to align it, then run a threaded bolt/screw through the hole…..

Rusty car in the garage but nothing rusty in terms of furniture, so I had to assume!

Thanks fellas.
