On my 01' Caravan Theres a bolt I need to replace and I cannot identify. I went the dealership and they cannot identify it either. The bolt is above the control arm. My Mechanic says it is an upper control arm mount bolt. It is long and goes right up into the Chassis. It has a hex head and a washer and between the bolts head and the chassis is a rubber bushing. This bolt is located on the passenger side of the van. Anyone have any idea what the hell it is? I could snap a pic or try to draw a picture. Thanks
Could be upper control arm bolt but also could be body mount bolt where the body mounts to the chassis

the dealership tells me there is no such thing as an upper control arm bolt. I have no clue what it is. All I know is I need it replaced.
Its a long bolt with a large head on it. It has a washer and then a big squared rubber bushing. then goes through the chassis and up. The bolt is about 8-10inches long from what I can see. It goes up through the frame and my mechanic actual cut a piece of the body out to tighten the nut at the other end. This bolt is located on the passenger side behind the strut but above the rack and pinion. It is also above the control arm. If you take the tire off and look into the wheel well along the top, it is one of the last things you see along the edge before the solid wall of the chassis. I have no clue what this bolt is. The dealership for some reason cannot identify it yet either. My mechanic says it is an upper control arm bolt and the dealership says that doesnt exsist. the bolt goes straight up into the chassis in the 12 o clock position. Anyone have any clue what this is? What it is called? anything? It is stripped and it is popping and causing a lot of damage to my passenger side.
