Default Replacing a Stripped Nut

Hey Guys,

I was wondering how hard it is to purchase a new nut. The nut i am talking about is a special one where the pin goes through, it's the nut that holds the upper arm and steering knuckle on a 99 GS. If anyone knows where i can get it, like just go to a dealership, that'd be great. Thanks.

Best bet, get it from the dealer, If the lexus dealer dont have it, get it from the Toyota dealer. I get alot of my bolts and nuts from the Toyota dealer.

If you striped the nut, most likely you cross stripped the bolt. You probably need to retread the bolt before putting the new nut on.
