2011 C30 R Design 2.5T / subframe bolt

Post by Pretribrapper »

Have an issue. Had to drop my subframe to replace a steering rack and I got that part done. However, when reattaching the subframe bolts I got all of them back in except the driver side front upper bolt. Part #31262063. It starts to tighten and then it just stops and I dont want to snap it. Any idea what could be the issue? I was told I should order a new bolt but I need to get car back together. Is there any substitute for this bolt that I could get at my local hardware store? Was curious if anyone has any idea. All other bolts went back in with no issue.

Can you swap this bolt to another location with another bolt to see if the issue is the bolt pr the thread it is going into?
