Icon2 Coilover question

Hello. I've recently had some function and form type 1's installed on my 2000 ex. A couple days later I wanted to adjust the rear height so when I jacked up the rear, I noticed something very strange. From where the coilover connects to the real control arm,on the rear side, the screw looked as if it's missing a nut... Is that normal? Do these coilovers have some kinda built in nut, tread kinda thing going on? I tried to loosen the screw to check but it's in there pretty tight and I don't have a air gun to loosen it.

Here's a pic:

How would you not know if you installed them? Did you not compare them to the other side?

Sorry, I will rephrase that. I had a friend of a friend do them. I apologize for the confusion and will edit the OP

The nut looks threaded. To confirm all you have to do is look at the other side of the car.

Both sides look the same. Or, do you mean the front of the arm where the screw enters or the rear side of the arm.. Which I've posted a picture of?

It's not missing anything. Although it doesn't look like a nut, it is.
