rear upper arm bolt question for 1992 civic

ok my question is how do these bolts actually tighten because mine wont.. is there a nut welded on the inside of the frane thats messed up? or is there stripped threads on the inside where the bolt goes in?

There is a welded nut. If yours won't tighten then it probably broke off. Bad for you.

Can the attitude. You were offered many options. None of them of which you seemed willing to attempt or understand.

Now you're asking the same question so the answers stay the same. Pick one and move on it. Just like before where you did nothing.

Re: rear upper arm bolt question for 1992 civic

Jeez. Not a chain store. They aint gonna do nothing for you unless it's for something you bought from them. Find a local small shop. I don't care where you live there are plenty of those around. What did you do after you couldn't get it done at Meineke? You just sat and looked at it? Why are you making this 1000x harder than it has to be? Stop posting if you're not taking advice and know everything.

How do YOU know what a local shop can do? I bet you're driving around like this. The shops I go to can do anything I ask them to.

We can't see what you see. You don't seem very tech knowledgeable. You might be missing something important. Why resist something so simple that could help? Don't make it difficult for people to help you.

Like I said. You know everything. So I guess you're SOL.

Why create a tech thread if you are unwilling to take ANY helpful advice? This thread is becoming a strong candidate for closure after each of your responses.

Re: rear upper arm bolt question for 1992 civic

quit being a bitch just cut the bolt off let the piece fall into the frame then use the rivit nut
or you can use a hole saw to cut the hole no sparks don't ask for help if your not going to listen to the reply's.
