Ok Alan, the missing parts are:
116-333-40-14, Bearing, upper control arm to torsion bar
123-333-06-67, Retainer, upper control arm to torsion bar
123-323-04-76, Washer, upper control arm to torsion bar
910106-010034, Screw, upper control arm to torsion bar
No idea if FastLane or PartsShop will have the retainer, washer or screw but they do have the bearing.
I would probably replace both bearings on that side. Be sure to inspect the inner threaded portion of the torsion (sway) bar, making sure the loosening bolt didn't bugger up the threads. It could be possible the threads pulled out once the bolt backed out far enough. If that is the case you may have to replace the sway bar (not fun).
If all you have to do is replace the parts and bolt it back together it will be a quick and easy job. No more than an hour to hour and a half, taking your time and plenty of coffee breaks. Remember to leave the bolt slightly loose until the car is back on the ground, then tighten it to spec. It is supposed to be tightened under load.
