problem with rear camber install

while installing the SPC rear camber i had one of the bolts that goes to the car crooked and it popped off the nut. now the bolt just keeps turning and i cant get to the nut since its inside the cars body somewhere. anybody know how i can get to the nut that popped off or how to fix this? i took it to a frame shop and they quoted me $480

Holy crap.. so you cant get to the nut since its within the uni-body? What about using a magnet and trying to fish it over the the hole? If you can fish the nut over to the hole you'd still have to tack weld it down to the uni-body, then re-tap the nut and use a larger bolt.

I'd call a few frame shops and get multiple quotes.

IDQcivic should not be trusted
when I installed mine there was no nut where the arrow is pointed, you just screw a bolt into the frame, maybe you stripped the threads??? I never heard of this kind of problem, and I doubt there would be a nut on the other side since when you unbolt it the nut would come loose too.... good luck!

the nut is on the other side like its welded on the body itself. right now its on the bolt (but not on the body) so it just turns . the control arm doesnt budge a bit with the other bolt on but i dont feel 100% comfortable with it like it is.
