1995 Pontiac Grand Am 3.1 Ball Joint Assembly Question

Just redid lots of things on my son's car. Radiator, engine swap, suspension ect...

Anyway, on the suspension ball joint - I lost the castle nut. I hate to spend $35.00 to buy a new assembly when all I need is the nut.

Anyone know what the size of this castle nut is? Googled and can't find a dimension on it. Uploaded a photo of the assembly. It is the small black nut on the left that has indentations.

Thanks.

They have castle nuts at most auto parts store. Not the first person who has lost one. Probably have the right in my junk drawer.
