Default rear suspension toe bar adjustment bolt missing/broke

The toe bar eccentric adjuster nut is missing/broke off the driver side rear.

The bar doesn't look rusted, only the bolt/bolt assembly, I can't tell if it's broke off or just missing the nut. Either way, I gotta fix it.

What is my best course of repair?
Do I need to replace the entire bar or just the adjustment bolt assembly?
Are there bushings inside that bar that need to be replaced?

Thanks

If it were my rig, I would take the assembly apart to inspect everything throughly. Make your decision based upon what everything looks like. If you can simply replace the nut, then order just that. (A bit of anti-seize will do wonders for nuts in the under carriage area.) Be sure to use the specific torque specs. for you model monty when reassembling the suspension.

Good Luck
