#57481 So im' finally getting around to install my suspension... yes it's been sitting next to me for the past month and a half collecting dust.

Now on one there is a bolt welded to on side, but not the other, on the other it's not there but appears that it use to be, I picked these up used but they aren't old.

This gonna be an issue? I can't see it causing a big problem, but i want to make sure

#64073 One thing I would surgested is used a nylock nut and not a standard nut as there will be a fair bit of movement coming from the LCA and normal nuts can work loose.

QFT. Or use two nuts, one behind the other to lock them in place.

#64121 well the suspension has been on for a couple of weeks now, we just cut the nut off the stock strut and welded it onto the new one.
