You are correct. Fortunately the force from the spring has kept it together, but it won't last that way forever!

Thank you.
Would anyone happen to know the part number??
How the heck did these come off?? By the looks of the thread, it has been a long time since I don't drive that often.

there is no nut on that. its called the lowering bolt. the top of it is a 10mm hex head. oil it down for a few days and then take the tension off the transverse spring and try to turn it. they tend to get filled with dirt in the threads and strip the top of the bolt. had to pull the spring g out of mine to get a pipe wrench on it to turn it out and replace it

Huh.... interesting why it would threaded. Not questioning you...just looks like SOMETHING should be on there.
Thanks for the reply. Worrying for nothing. ...

its thread so as you turn the bolt it pushes the rubber end of down or up and raises or lowers the body of the car. each corner has one you use the top end to turn it hence the 10mm socket fitment. the weight of the car on the spring keeps it in place
