Posted By: dubkatz_dup1 front subframe bolt stripped. - 09/25/04 12:16 AM
I hate cross posting but i wasnt sure what room this should go under. So i also put it in trouble shooting.

I searched in all topics could not find anything even though i know i have seen the same problem. Anyways the subframe bolt is not stripped but the nut is loose and i cant see how to get to it, to hold it. Its the driverside front bolt. So i cant get to it from the floor board. Any idea?

I had the same problem with the rear one on the drivers side. I took my car to my favorite body shop and they drilled a hole through the subframe right beside the bolt ( and thus the nut too ) and then they spot welded the nut in place. The bolt turned right out afterwards. Put a new bolt in after you do this cause the old one will be rusty.
Cheers, Neil

this is about pass side front judging by reference to washer fluid reservoir... see if it helps.
