Is that a worn quad shock and a broken control arm bolt?

How wide are the rims and what size tires. You can prolly get a bolt from a local hardware store. As for the size, take out one of the others and take w/ ya. Unless someone on here knows the exact size.

um yea!!

if there wasnt supposed to be a bolt there, do you really think ford would jhave bothered putting one there in the first place? you might wanna fix that before your axle decides to part company with your car
