Therte are 4 total but the one I want is completely different than the other 3. It is the one on the bottom and toward the rear of the car. The reason I need it is that the nut is thinner to avoid hitting the self adjuster cable. The nut and bolt are somewhat stripped out and I don't want anything bad to happen. (I know there are 3 more but I worry) Could someone help me find a couple? "There are only three real sports, Mountain climbing, Bull Fighting and Auto Racing.

I'm not quite sure I fully understand your question... More info or pictures would help. MAYBE you are asking about the FRONT brakes? You didn't specify.

You will probably need to put a want ad in the A body parts section , that's not something you would find new in the correct configuration. And don't drive the car till you get it , that bolt is also holding the ball joint to the spindle.
