You'll probably need to go to the dealer. You can try to get a 21mm nut but it's a pain to do without the flag nut. Can be done, did it a few times.

You can visit the dealer and get 6508926AA.

Make sure you use some serious torque on that nut/bolt. TIGHT ASS YOU CAN! Two farts and a grunt tight.

So two farts and a grunt?? What if one is a shart?? I am so lucky that bolt didnt walk its way all the way out. Guess i will have to go visit the dealer. All the autopart stores and there "experts" dont know what im talking about.

Thanks

I have a question. What is a flagged nut? I know what a castellated nut is.

This is a flagged nut. Because of the "space" you have to hold it, it comes with a handle to hold while you screw the bolt in.

Lowes or home depot. They carry some random nuts and bolts including grade 8

Problem with using a bolt is you need to slide the bolt in place, which you really can't see, you have to feel it. Then you can tighten the bolt. You can do this with a wrench, but the nut will most likey come out. It's better to use the open end as you tighten the bolt, you won't be able to remove the wrench as the bolt will come close to the axle... so no room to remove the wrench.

I've got a couple track bar bolts and flag nuts sitting in my shop in Abbotsford. I'll give you one of them if you still need it. Not sure if you want to make the drive up to Sumas from Seattle or if you want I can ship it if you just want to pay the shipping cost. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

I appreciate the offer. I ordered two sets. Hard to find parts, even at my local dealers.
