Default Missing Nut?


Hello Friends,
I' m doing front brake pads and I noticed this threaded rod sticking up thru the spring. Is this supposed to have a nut on it? The other side is not there either. ( Never mind the oily stuff. It's from the 303 Protectant that I sprayed on the rubber parts) Thanks

if your talking about the leave spring and the 10mm bolt sticking up vertically, that is normal and is used to lower your car or raise it. just look up lowering c6 and you will find lots of info

No. That is for raising or lowering the ride height of your car.

OK, thanks! I don't want to raise or lower it that's for sure.
