I'm sure the dealership will feel that the bolt is worth at least $10.

My parts fiche identifies it as a "screw" for which quantity 3 is listed, but no part number. The dealership will sell you a new strut mount, and then you would need a spring compressor.

I remember one of mine coming loose, and knocking it back out twice trying to push the strut assembly up into the tower alone before tracking down my daughter for five minutes help starting a nut.

The "screw" is M8x20, but using an ordinary hex cap screw is going to need some kind of bubble gum, epoxy, or tack brazes/welds, best I can figure. Maybe a flanged bolt with a tinnerman retaining it from the top, if they make tinnermans in M8 size.
