ABSTRACT:
A method and structure for installing an automotive suspension member is herein disclosed. A fastener used to couple a link member includes a head, a shaft extending from the head and a self-holding mechanism that prevents rotation of the fastener when it is engaged with an aperture formed through a mating member. The self-holding mechanism obviates the need for more than one tool for installing the link member.
