as some of you guys know.. the upper controll arms on EF's and EG's.. use a bolt through the controll arm, and have a nut tack welded behind the body and that bolts the inner arm.

well, a few of us have broke those tack welds loose.. and in my case, i couldn't loosen all the way out, or tighten it up.. i ended up tourching the bolt off.

well.. i'll introduce a "nutsert".

a wonderfull tool to have!

 

Those look very interesting. Where do you get them?

 

i have them at work, from a supplier.

 

Nutserts are great to have around.. i used them alot when i was building box trucks for Utilimaster. Im not sure how they would hold up to suspension componets

 

I wouldn't use it on any type of suspension.

 

they work well in light loads I wouldnt use them in a heavy load application

 

in the aircraft industry, they are called "rivnuts" . I have used them many times, you just have to make sure that you have a good material to hold them in.

Was going to say the same thing

Good product, just not ment to hold load though

 

if you ever bought a neuspeed strut bar, they come with a set of those and a little tool

 

i used them on my CRX's uper controll arm.. i tourched the bolt off, and let the other half fall in.. put the nutsert in place, and used the OEM bottom bolt. so it was 50% on the nutsert.. and i didn't have a problem for 2 years.. now the car is apart being restored to JDM specs. bronze glass and all.
