Needs to be bolted in really and it shouldn't be spinning. Should do up nice and tight. Worst case is a new wishbone is about 25 quid

Why would you need to replace subframe for that bolt?!
Just undo the other one and take the wishbone off?

Even if it's sheared In the subframe, iirc the front nut isn't actually welded to the subframe. It's held in place by a clip I think so you could just remove the t and put a new one In. Might be getting mixed up with the 106 though lol

Some subframes it's clipped, early ones are slide in square nuts.
