Default Subframe bolt ?

If you deal with your suspension as much as I do then
you should be able to visualize what im talking about.
But if you cant i drew up a picture that will help. Has anyone
ever broken the nut that conects to the lca bolt inside the
sub frame? The nut is welded to the sub frame so that you
can screw the lower controll arm bolt into the sub frame.
The sub frame is hollow and you cant hold the nut up to the
bolt to tighten it. Has this happened to anyone or am I the first?
What did you do if it happened to you?

Yeah I have broken the weld those welded nuts on two cars already. You have to cut a small square hole to fit your wrench under your subframe(side facing the floor) to hold your nut while you tread in your bolt with a rachet.. The nut might be a 14 or 17. I don't remember. Just throw on some tread locker too once you are at it. It is not a big deal guys.
