zoned,
sorry to hear that you are one of the unlucky ones. I would take it to the dealership and insist they weld in the nuts. Mine were there on my 05 convertible making the rear sway a snap to put in. Otherwise you'll have to find the right ones that fit cause I'm not sure DC even sells the proper nuts anymore. They weren't even listed in the parts computer at my dealership when I purchased the factory install parts (dog bones, bolts, clam shells)
