go to the hardware store and get a new one, I don't think it is anything special about it, just a Socket cap allen, try to take one of the other ones with you and size it to make sure you get the right tread and size.

ok well i fixed it...thank you very much 98401R...you saved me a lot of time and money...it was only like a $1 to get everything fixed!! thanks again man!!
but now there is another problem...when i test drove my car i drove it to the gas station to air up the tires cuz they have been sitting a while..anyways..the steering wheel was shaking pretty damn bad....i filled the tires up and on the way home the shaking wasnt very bad when i was goin about20-25mph..then i started to speed up and it was gettin worse....long story short what do you think is the problem?
i torqued the lugs down when i got home...but from the looks of it it looks like the studs on the driverside wheel are angled...im thinkin this is the problem...should i just hammer them straight or what?
sorry for the length.
