2007 Silverado
6" fabtech lift kit

I was changing my oil this afternoon and I noticed my front right control arm was missing the nut and washer. The bolt had actually back out about half way and I was able to push the bolt back through the control arm but now I am missing the washer and nut. My question is where can I buy a new nut and washer or can I? I believe that this is a standard GM part and didn't come with the Fabtech lift kit. Anyone ever have this happen before? Thanks.

Looks to me like its part of the lift, and someone didn't follow directions and retorque all the nuts n bolts after 100 miles. You can probably get a new washer n nut at your local auto parts store.

Any local hardware store should have what you need. If it were me, i would put a lock washer on it along with the flat washer and nut. If you can use Grade 8 hardware as it is ALOT stronger.
