Dog Bone subframe bolt.

[Rioja Cupra]

Am I correct in believing that the bog bone connects to the subframe with a shouldered bolt that threads into the upper section of the subframe rather than a nut?

I think some nice garage has replaced the correct Seat part with an ordinary not and bolt. The nut is inaccessible without removing the subframe or the steering rack.

Can someone please confirm if my thinking is correct before I strip the suspension?

Thank you
It looks like the captive nut isn't captive anymore.
Subframe removal time again...
