Rear camber bolt won't get tight

My right rear camber bolt will not get tight. I can crank on it as much as possible but it still will move. Doesnt look stripped or damaged. Do i need a new bolt or lower arm?

It's stripped. The oem alignment hardware is very soft. I've been in your shoes with this problem. Ahah

If you look at the bolt, it's cut almost in half. With the stock bolts being soft too, it is very easy to strip them.

The last link is for the front but it comes with the nut that is also for the rear suspension bolts. I would contact STM so you can specify that you only want part number MU431006.
