I thought the "thunk" noise I have been hearing from my front end was a bushing issue. Turns out, its not! Im driving around in the rain yesterday and all of a sudden my right front wheel starts locking and yanking the steering wheel to the right every time I touch the brakes. I get the thing up on the jack this morning and I'm immediately greeted with this sight:

Oh joy of joys! The leading bolt is backed out about 1/3 of the way and the trailing bolt, as you can see, is completely missing. Now I have to track someone down to take me to a junk yard lol... The good news? Its way easier to fix than bushings.
