2002 vy "s" commodore ute 3.6L
hey guys
just got a ute it seems to be missing two bolts out of the k frame. one on either side.

i dont know much about it so ill jut try explain as best i can.

the two that are missing are on the back part, they go through the "fatter" part and up into the chassi, where there is a nut welded on.
just wondering if i need to use a tension wrench when doing them up, and if there is anything else i should know.
thanks guys

How many bolts are presently holding the K frame to the chassis? You only need 4. The torque value is somewhere in the region of ####in tight and also with blue threadlocker

As said above.

Really F&%#$n tight with thread locker and should be 4 bolts.
If the back 2 are missing I wouldn't be driving the car around till they are replaced.
There would be a lot of strain on those front 2 bolts.
