Rear subframe bolts
Hi I have a noob question here, I installed an ASR subframe brace, sway bar, and LCA's on my friends EJ8, the bolt that goes into the inner LCA (the one closest to the middle of the chassis I guess) and it doesn't go through all the way, it sits about a 3/4 through the nut, they're aftermarket bolts that came with the package, should I get new ones or is it just fine, and also the nut that was welded on broke lose, should we re-weld it back on? thanks for any help!

Longer bolt yes, suprised the bolts weren't long enough. But the threads need to be fully in contact, since the way bolts hold in are because they stretch it is important to use the threads there.
As for the nut breaking loose, I can't see why it would NEED to be welded back on. It'd be the ideal thing to do but when the bolts torqued down the nut/bolt assembly shouldn't move with the collar of the bushing at all.

Actually, it also has a beaks bar mounted to it, would that contribute to the fact that the bolt isn't long enough?

Re: Rear subframe bolts
That sounds about right, the brackets on it are pretty thick, but having that said, would I still have to get a longer bolt? Sinc it's no my car, I don't want to cheap out or mess it up

Re: Rear subframe bolts
Yea I'd get some longer bolts. Make sure they are 8.8+ grade bolts and the correct thread pitch, Honda uses fine pitch, pretty sure 1.25.
