Missing Bolts...SMH!

[Legacy23]

I'll keep this short and sweet. I rotated my tires today and realized I'm missing the 2 bolts that attach the shock to the lower control arm in the front. Pictures below...

Does anyone know the part number so I can replace them?

Thanks!

Why not have the dealer do it? It’s a warranty issue.

The truck was modified when I bought it. I'm pretty sure the previous owner left me this little surprise.

I just completed a safety recall for the upper control arm where the nut could come loose. Mine is a Dec. '23 build but a 2024 model. Fell into the recall time frame.

Yeah, your's sounds like whoever modified it didn't do a very good job. Did you notice it in the ride?

I've put 3k miles on it in just over a month. Haven't noticed a thing.

JIC you aren't aware, there will be torque specifications for those bolts. Too much is just as bad as too little. Got to get it JUST RIGHT. Hence the recent recall for bolts.not torqued correctly for a nut on upper control arm.

I thought this thread was going to be about stolen Chevy EVs!

HEY !
Those are technically called "Ugga-Dugga's"
A "Ugga Dugga" which is defined as a unit of measurement, often used in automotive workshops, representing a combination of time and torque, roughly equivalent to 14-16 foot-pounds of torque per Ugha-Dugha. These units can vary by region.

I would just go to my 5 gallon bucket of automotive bolts, find the largest bolts in bucket that will fit the holes, find nuts. Install it. As tight as you can tighten it with a half inch ratchet will be good enough. This is not rocket science.

At the very least, do this for now, until you get the parts you are looking for.
my two cents.
