Default Steering drag link nut

My steering drag link decided to fall off at the passenger side, and the nut is missing, anyone know the part # so I can get just the nut?

Are you sure thats no the Track bar? I just happen to be working on my 95 linkage and the closest thing I can see to that pic you posted is the track bar.

If it does end up being the track bar, the info i have found is that it is a M10 x 1.5 and theres supposed to be a nut with a tab welded to it that points down.

It appears to be part 19 on this diagram

Can you post another pic? That hole thats in the pic looks like its for the track bar.

Yea, number 19 in the diagram is the drag link but that diagram is missing the track bar

Does the bar that came off have two or three holes in it?

That z-shaped tab thing is the nut. It goes inside the opening and then you screw the bolt into it. Its called a flag nut.
