Default Missing Nuts

I just brought my jeep cross country from Wyoming to Louisiana, and while pulling tree limbs around the yard, I must have popped something loose. The left rear control arm nut is gone pecan. So obviously i need a new one. Where do I get one? I know from the other side that it fits a 21mm socket. But fuck me if i can find the thing in NAPA, homedepot, lowes... Any idea? what do I ask for so they don't think i'm making it all up?

you just need the nut? why dont you take the bolt to a nut and bolt supply place? is there a tractor supply there? either take the bolt out, or take a nut from the other side and use it to match from.

He said he had looked but actually taking the other bolt/nut would probably help.

Hey, I see that 4whln is from Louisiana too. Just find where he's going to be parked and take his!!
