Default Ooops! I lost a nut!

Say I lost the nut off of the top of the OEM swaybar link, what size would that be? Searched everywhere in the garage floor.....no where to be found..... I need to get a new one from the hardware store and dont want to buy one of each size

I should probably clarify, the one at the top of the front swaybar link

It seems to be very seized. I could cut the head off that bolt and just replace it too, but then I am looking at buying a fairly large grade 8 bolt that I don't know if they will have.

My local ACE hardware will let me take a handful of fasteners out to the parking lot to try them and then I will buy the one that fits. If you can't take the whole link in with you ask if they will let you take some nuts outside to try. The worst they can say is no.
