Does anyone know if the captive nut that seems to be welded to the body that attaches the front of the diagonal braces (rear suspension) with the M12 bolt is solid enough to have a TimeSert put into it, or is it just going to snap off? Found out why the bolt in my car was missing..... threads are trashed. Replacement bolt spins at about 25 lbs, can't get to the required 80......

This is on an 09 Cayman S.

Thanks for any words of wisdom.....
