Default ever broke your upper control arm mounting bolts?

as some of you guys know.. the upper controll arms on EF's and EG's.. use 2 bolts 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".







more pics avail in my listing here..

that doesnt seem like the best idea for suspension components.
