Default Am I missing a nut?

Took my wheels off today to wash them and the suspension parts. Noticed that there wasn't a nut on the threaded stud, looked to the other side and not one there either. Looks as though there was one at one time but who knows? Anyway is there supposed to be a nut on this stud? Forgive my ignorance since I don't know what the part is called. It's the rear suspension below the half shaft. This is a 2010 GS with 1600 miles on it.

I'm not sure what the part is called either (lowering bolts)? but I just checked mine and there are no nuts on it so I'm sure it's ok.

Your good to go brother..No nuts installed on the lowering bolts from the factory..there threaded in from the bottom and the spring pressure against the control arm holds them in place

No nuts. Those are threaded into your spring. You can raise or lower the car with them.
