Default QuestiOn about Blox rear LCAs

So i ordered a set of bolx lcas and i was wondering if anyone could tell me if the hole for the lower shock bolt has a nut welded on the other side like the factory lca does. I want to get new hardware for these but dont want to buy the wrong stuff. Thanks.

Take his word for it, you always break one. Then you have new ones that are not rusty

Thanks, yeah i have a friend who works at a honda dealership, he can usually get me his discount. I tried to do my suspension the other day but that one bolt was so frozen that i kinda rounded off the head. Id rather spend a little more for new lcas and hardware than try to drill it out and tap it. Bushings probably need to be replaced anyway. It seems like that bolt being siezed is a common thing.

Just the ones on the lower control arms, from the picture it looks like the blox lcas have new bushings in them.

Pb blaster and time is your friend when messing with those bolts.

Snapped every bolt but 1 on my friends da

I always here people saying horrible things about blox bushings, but at the same time i hear good things. I have noticed a trend though, People that have issues didnt preload them, i have seen people that preloaded have problems though.
