What parts are we clamping together? It's a control arm that rotates partially through a limited range of motion inside of a U-shaped bracket welded to the torsion tube. The bolt isn't in tension except for the suggested tightening torque.

Is it not a pivot pin that shouldn't drop out? If so, it should be strong enough and have the proper torque applied so as not to. Oh, and the factory bolt and nut was less expensive but installed backwards, a cruel joke if the objective was to easily remove for service.
