front pass side subframe

So, I was removing the front subframe and the passenger side front bolt that goes up into the frame had to be sawed through to remove the subframe, I think the previous owner didn't use the right bolt and just welded a nut onto a bolt to keep the subframe in place... which would explain the clunking issues, however now I have to get what is left of the bolt out of the frame and see if I can even mount a new one..... open to suggestions? I'm thinking that I might have to use a holesaw and cut a hole in the frame to mount a stud..... any ideas?

Don't think that would fix the problem, cause its actually an attachment point problem the front pass side bolt to remove the subframe had to be cut

Thats just the replacement lower bar that also holds the front motor mount. That is not a complete lower subframe.

its more likely im told that the stud that holds the bolt in place rusted off the frame. You are likely going to have to cut open the frame to repair it. It happened to me as well, but my subframe is currently spot welded to the frame until i get to a body shop to fix it permanently.

That seems likely.... it was free spinning when trying to remove.... that's what I thought I was going to have to do also was just hoping not...
