Lower control arm, rear bushing bolt/pin
Ok I'm getting so sick of this 06 HHR.
I went to replace the passenger side lower control arm and it took me like 3 days to take out that bolt/pin. I ended up cutting it well my buddy did I got a new bolt put it in when to drive and it fell out. Please I need help

It is a BOLT there is supposed to be a captured nut. If you did that much to it the capture part is probably gone. Where did the bolt get cut, what happened to the part that belongs in the nut?
That bolt hold 1/4 of the engine and transmission in the car.

So what do you mean in the bolt? And what does this nut look like?

Drivers side
Passengers side
A new cage nut. These photos are with the engine cradle removed, there isn’t a lot of room to get to the driver side, but you can get to the passenger side to break the cage off and install a nut

Ok so I have the green puce but it's not green and no threads. Also the old bolt is in 3 pieces I got a new one from the dealership, but now it's the mater of putting that but back in (that has no threads) without putting it on the lift cause my man's vehicle is on it with no tires
