Default Tie-Rod to knuckle arm bolt?

Also posted this in suspension, sorry if I put it in the wrong place...

1994 Honda Accord EX

Good evening all,

New to these forums, so if this has been covered before, I apologize, and please direct me in the right direction if possible. I heard a noise when turning and going over not so flat and even roads today, so did some inspection when I got home, and I think I have found the cause. When looking at what I believe is the tie-rod attaching to the knuckle arm on my right front tire area, I saw this bolt or nut or whatever it is missing some of the rubber washers or boots on it, and it had plenty of play in it when I touched it. Upon looking at the right hand side, I saw that it had 2 extra rubber washers or boots, and no play whatsoever with the nut. I have attached pictures, and my question is fairly simple...can I just replace this nut, if so, what is it called and can I get it from auto zone or someplace like that? If not, well...yeah...
My steering and alignment hasn't seemed to have been affected at all, so I'm hoping I don't have to replace the entire tie-rod...just need to know about the nut or bolt or whatever it is for now. Thanks

JPD

Default RE: Tie-Rod to knuckle arm bolt?

That's your sway bar end-links.Just changed a pair on a '92 DX.Pretty much when you buy them,they're a 3/8" bolt,nut,flat washers,spacers,and the rubber.However,the stock ones are a different configuration,and are metric.
