Bill - Both sides of mine are as you describe the left side. Do they actually
bottom out on something or just stop 'threading'? Are the cage nuts in place?

On the left side of my TR3A the upper fulcrum is held in by four 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 spring out and
looked.
On 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 gives? What is there
supposed to be? Can someone take a look at a frame and tell me?
My 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 stayed on
this long with all of the reckless driving I've done before I knew. Maybe 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.
Any ideas?
