I don't really remember.  I think it was the bolt that holds the mounting
tab to the lower control arm.  You will see if you have the same thing when
you get under the car to lay it all out.  If you find, as we did, that there
are bolts the wrong length, be ready to get the right ones.

Also, I suggest you have the weight on the front tires.  It may not be
impossible to install the assembly with the suspension in droop, it would be
a bad idea.
