I bought two bolts longer than the original, and it was only the longer
of those two that protruded below the frame and allowed me to put a
washer and Nylock nut on it.
BUT I can't say that there is any significant improvement in the
"clunking," so I guess I have to think about replacing other parts as
well. I couldn't feel any significant movement anywhere, but many of
those other rubber bushings don't look too healthy.
