Question Please help me identify this bolt just came off my rear suspension

Hey guys i was driving my car to school today and i heard a pop. After hearing a pop, my car started to wobble and sway left to right badly especially over unevenly road. I was able to drive it home safely and jacked up car for a quick inspection. Comes to find out, there was a missing bolt in one of the rear suspension components. Can anyone please tell me what kind of bolt it is and will i need to replace the whole part of the the bolt?

I'm not sure the exact name for that suspension component, but I also noticed the boot for your CV Axle is leaking badly, circled in red, could be some major damage in that, might have to be replaced.

Since the car still jacked up i went down and check the axle and seems like it is not leaking. Everything seem dried and sealed it is probably wet from the rain while i was on the way home . Thank your for noticing it tho.

It's very unusual for a suspension component like this to just go missing.
When I lowered mine, I had to work pretty hard to get things to even loosen much less remove a bolt.

Parts list - double check for your year and drive train

Looks like:
90105-14200 bolt
94151-21401 nut
94622-51400 washer

Were the shocks replaced recently? Looks like someone forgot to tighten the nut.

That bolt looks like it is for the caster arm. I'd suggest you go put a Home Depot class 10.9 bolt into it temporarily until you get the Lexus bolt.
