PS= Passenger side

I thought maybe the bolt that I used was the wrong size so I used the bolt from the Drivers Side (DS). At least now I know I'm using the right size bolt and the head and the threads on the bolt are fine. The hole that bolt goes into is stripped out. I can screw it in by hand and it starts to snug up then clicks and the bolt goes loose again.

Drill and helicoil is the answer? Sorry, but what is a helicoil? I know about drilling and tapping, is it the same thing?

EDIT: Ok, a Helicoil is a replacing the stripped threads by inserting new ones. Got it.
