Yea orginally it did but I cannot find it anywhere! The old bolt was tapered, is the new bolt that comes with it also tapered or should I just run to pepboys and get a straight bolt?

You would need a tapered sleeve if you run just a straight bolt. Start searching. Unless you can find a tapered sleeve somewhere
