As I was placing a jack stand under the rear of my 95 I noticed the Sub-Frame bracket was shot. Got some replacements (thanks Bruce) and was warned about the nut on the large bolt might turn inside the body. The real bad one came off ok. The other one just spun. I read some posts and everyone said drill holes and bang down the tabs. This does nothing to help.The nut has a base that is a rectangle that when turned will bind then slip on the metal locking piece with the tabs. I nailed it with a pry bar-punch twice down low and it tightened so that the bolt came out without the nut slipping. I have no idea what the tabs are for. The metal base keeps the nut from turning. I had to drill 2 holes(only had a 1 1/8 hole saw) Siliconed and pop riverted a patch and undercoated it. The left side was really shot and the car is pretty much rust-free (Ca car) Takes a second to check these brackets out. I did finally fix the air ride problem :D:D

Looks good. However moisture can get in that chamber still thru the very front. I still need to make patches for my holes I cut, plus one I cut in the trunk :(
