[T3] Shock tower bolt trouble


Hey all -

The other day, while driving, I heard a loud knocking sound from the right
rear end anytime that I hit a bump. When I got home I saw that the upper
bolt holding my shock in was gone and hat the shock was resting on the body
next to the mount. Seeing that I had recently had done some work on the
whole rear end (installed a 2.0) I chucked it up to not being installed at
enough tork and set put to fix it. When I got the new bolt in there i
learned that the welded-on nut, on the inside of the upper mount, was
spinning freely and did not allow the bolt to get tight. Has anyone
experienced a similar problem and how to secure the nut that can't be
reached?

Thanks - Wilson
