=A0 =A0=A0=A0On the left side of my TR3A the upper fulcrum is held in by fo=
ur bolts. The inner bolts have nyloc nuts and the outer bolts go through a =
caged or captive nut on the frame somehow. I haven't actually had the sprin=
g out and looked.
=A0 =A0=A0=A0On the right side the bolt arrangement is the same except the =
outer bolts only thread in about 3 threads and then bottom out. The threads=
 are feeling a little "soft" as well. The DPO had put bolts in with 3 and 4=
 lock washers. This has been bugging me so I pulled the shock and spring so=
 I could look underneath. Sure enough, the bolts don't go through. What giv=
es? What is there supposed to be? Can someone take a look at a frame and te=
ll me?
=A0 =A0=A0=A0My car took a hard hit to the front right corner long ago with=
 the DPO.
     I've been tearing around in the car for about 18 years and it has stay=
ed on this long with all of the reckless driving I've done before I knew. M=
aybe I should just put the bolts in and forget about it. =

     I've done this post before, but that was before I had it all apart to =
see what I have.
     This is my daily driver/work car so I need to get it back on the road =
by Monday the 29th.
=A0 =A0=A0=A0Any ideas?
