Soo... I installed new Energy Suspension bushings on the front end of my '94 Civic. Everything was going great until we tried to bolt the compliance bushing (the big one on the backside of the LCA) back to the sub-frame. When we tried to tighten one of the bolts, the welds on the thread sleeve on the inside of the subframe broke loose and the bolt just spins now. I know I can get the bolt off if I cut it. The problem is, how can I fix this? There doesn't seem to be a way to get into the inside of the subframe to attach a nut without breaking the welds and opening it up or cutting a hole in the subframe and going in from the top. The bolt that broke is the front one of the two that are next to each other on the bracket. This pic is a CRX, but it will give you an idea of what I'm talking about.
