Your correct.I was wrong, mine is there. Oops! Why are there two holes further away from that bolt? I think this was my original concern, but it's been a while since I looked and erroneously chose the wrong area.

The OP has a different bar as well (looks like a painted aluminum instead of steel).

Those don’t look like OEM bolts.

Not my engine, just copied it. So I have no way to determine.

It's not my engine area, I just copied one since only concerned with a bolt.

Go back to the dealer, get a new bolt and put it in. If you can't turn a wrench have them do it.

Apparently, you didn't read all the information provided, typical of a response like yours. If you can't be civil or friendly, keep to yourself.

Apparently, instead of thanking people for trying to help you, you accuse them to be uncivil or unfriendly. Read your original post! I replied to that. Perhaps you could explain how I was not civil or friendly in my post. I think you're confused a little. An apology would be appreciated.

I have to agree, I thought it was his car showing the bolt wanting an explanation. It's all good people.

You were flippant and unhelpful. Read all posts before replying. Going forward, just pass on my posts and "help" others.

The OP's initial picture shows an aftermarket replacement strut.

That's what I thought as well with different bolts.

So, now I'm not just uncivil, unfriendly, but flippant and unhelpful, too?
To answer your original question, no, you're not missing a bolt, maybe you have a loose screw and 2 extra holes.

That is what I did. The OP original question was answered, so maybe you could close the thread?
