As I was examining the front end for the source of added noise - I found the nut from the large bolt on the passenger side sway bar link missing! The bolt seems secure in there, so what I need is the size of nut. I'm 3 hours from the nearest dealer, so will an aftermarket bolt do - NAPA, Carquest is who we have here.

I do have the updated links - they were put on under warranty (about 55k mile agao) - this is my 98 ML320. Thanks!
