I recently noticed that I'm missing a nut in my suspension/steering.

It's the nut that goes on the bolt which holds the stabilizer bar to the stabilizer bar connecting rod. It's in my repair manual, but it only shows how much torque I need to put on it.

I would scan the picture from the repair manual but I'm at work right now. I don't really mind going to the dealership and paying $5 for a nut, but if at all possible I'd like to go to Ace Hardware and get it for 15 cents.

Also, I don't want to take the other one off to try and match it up.

BTW, how dangerous is it to drive without that bolt secured?

If you're missing a suspension bolt, I wouldn't drive it.

The nut that you see at the top there is the one I'm missing.

Its ok to drive it just no drifting or real hard turns, normal every day driving will be ok. The nut is 10x 1.25.
