LT4 Missing nut on suspension!

[Fiery89]

My dad has the '96 CE and he recently brought it to get the wheels balanced as the car was vibrating around 50 mph. While it was in the air, the mechanic noticed a nut missing on one of the suspension pieces and told him he wasn't familiar enough to tell him what it was or where to get it. He brought it over and after looking at it and searching the web, it looks to be a nut missing from the lower driver's side spindle! Has anyone experienced one coming off or know where I could find one? I've called local dealerships (discontinued), local auto parts stores, salvage yards, etc. with no luck in finding this one nut. Any help would be appreciated.

First off Welcome to CAC. Hopefully someone will jump in here and be able to help you locate the nut you need. I would suggest looking at a Corvette only (or one that specializes in) salvage yard one that comes to mind is vette2vette.com.

Someone else may have another idea.

Thanks! I received some advice from a member from another forum earlier to try out Fastenal. The nut doesn't seem to be any special kind, I just have to know the type- size, thread type, etc. and I found that by asking the dealership nearby to give me the original part # and cross referenced it online for the information. I would of course be more than happy with anyone's suggestions!
