okay so the outer drivers side sub frame mount bolt, the nut inside the frame has come apart and is no longer in place. I need to figure out how i can get a nut in there and my bolt back in so i can drive my car again...any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Hole saw subframe (large enough to fit your hand in)
Pull out old bolt/nut
Replace with grade 8 nut, bolt, and washers. Add loc-tite for security.

-OR-

Clean up old busted bolt, and weld a new nut on to the stud. Then heat/lube/impact that bitch out.

Hopefully the second option works out for ya, good luck.
