Chris,
The bolt shown is not the standard part. Is that a hex socket head? I can't
tell from the pic, but if it is, then it has pulled into the bushing. I would
buy the correct upper fulcrum bolts and lock nuts for reassembly and you may be
able to reuse the poly bushings.

Me again! I decided to replace the front suspension bushes, as they were
falling to bits. Well, I was very pleased with myself - got the ones off the
top control arms nice and quickly, put in the new ones, covered them in
grease, put everything back together and...
Hmm...

... there's a load of play in there! I wish I'd paid more attention to the
things when I took them off, but it looks to me like the bolt that goes
through the whole thing is simply too long. Is this possible? Or, erm, have I
done something boneheaded again?
