Small problem with front ARB bolts

[Matt_D]

While i was doing a oil and filter change this afternoon i noticed that i lost two of my FARB bolts

Now i have a small problem

I have replaced the two bolts that want walkies (these btw were the top bolts on the u clamp, one either side) now these tighten fine the problem is with the bottom two bolts, they keep spinning as you try and tighten them.

I believe the nuts that are spinning are supposed to be welded to the subframe ??

If so what are my options ? Anyone had this problem before ? New subframe time ?

well i think either get them re-welded to the existing frame or failing that I would think you could just stick a washer in there and use a good old nyloc? Only issue might be getting a socket or spanner in there to grip the bolt so might involve dropping the frame anyway...

Had this with my Rear subframe, I bought a new subframe to replace it, in the end just knocked the old captive not of the subframe and replaced it with a self locking nut and loctite.
