Default Front brake caliper mounting bolts

Recently I had an issue where my front right wheel locked up. I found out that a caliper mount bolt was missing and I can’t find the part number or any on eBay, any info? 97 LS400

Order these from dealer.
Why?....because they are stretch bolts with premium rolled threads...

Whomever did one side wrong probably did the other incorrectly as well .so order four.

Imperative you use a torque wrench....

There is a high risk that the bolt damaged the hole threads when it wiggled itself loose. I would get that checked.

If the new bolt does not easily turn into tapped hole, have the technician chase the threads.
