We all came to the conclusion that nissan did not put a part number on the diagram for these 3 bolts and the mounting bracket. I couldn't find the torque value for these bolts in the service manual either. It's a mystery. Dealership said I should just order the A arm, I'm not paying that much for a bolt.

If anyone can find the mystery bolt, please post up.

Word of advice for future DIY out there, don't round off your strut mountng bracket bolts.
oh this thing?

For the record and future reference these three bolts, if I remember correctly, screw into the aluminum knuckle spindle. Since they don't have a specified torque value the standard applies. For specifics see pg 19 of section GI in the service manual.

Check the bolt markings to determine the grade and the appropriate torque value per the chart. Remember - the aluminum threads in the knuckle will strip out before the bolt will. If you're uncertain I suggest finding a middle/lower value and using a thread locker.
