W126 Brake Bearing Bracket question...

[hbofinger]

So as I am rebuilding the suspension on our 1989 560SEL, I am also doing the bushings in the bearing bracket and of course the guide rod mounts.

One of the Febi bushing packs came with new bracket nuts that you slide into the side of the body. These are the nuts into which the two bolts holding the bearing bracket go into. So I bench tested them for fit, and found that the bolts on both bracket nuts I was testing would only go in a few turns and then stop dead. The bolt would never even fully poke out the other end of the nut - it is almost like it was cross-threaded.

You are supposed to tighten these bolts at 80 NM.

So my question is: Is this intentional? Is this really a stop nut that is not supposed to let the bolt go any further, and the 80 NM really just wedges the bolt into the thread securely, but there is no pressure between the bearing bracket and the body/bolt? Or should I rethread the nuts so the bolt goes through, use locktite, and torque to 80 NM with the bolt/plate pressing the bearing bracket against the floor?
