The bottom coil retaining cups have a weld nut. The bolt goes through the pocket in the trailing arm and into the bottom coil retainer cup with the weld nut on it. Inserting and tightening the bolt from the underside of the trailing arm, into the cup, is easier than from the top, inside the coil.
Thanks!

My bottom ones are not even there (no bolts either)
