Salutations, all!
Is there a place I can find a pinch bolt for a ball joint? I used an ad hoc bolt and nut to secure the heavily rusted torx side, but now I'm worried it's rubbing against the control arm.
I appreciate it.

After removing the 24 years of rust from my Torx bolt, I cleaned it and put it back into use.
Reuse after applying a small amount of threadlock to ensure threads and nut are OK.

Despite showing one in the parts list, it is missing a nut. I regretted buying one because I would never use it.

A nut secures the Torx head bolt that slides through the knuckle on my 2002 bottom ball joint lower suspension arm.
Despite showing a nut in the catcar image, the pinch bolt that secures the strut to the top of the knuckle is threaded but missing one.

Yeah, I was actually considering that!
