Yeah, but it's not usually just a through bolt. Generally it's some kind of
stud set into the subframe, on a unibody.

I wasn't worried about it loosening up, particularly, but of it stressing
the panel right around the hole. Remember, the lever shock had two bolts set
through a wide base flange.

Well, I'm glad it's working for you, but it's not something I'd be
comfortable with.
