Hey look, goobered and boogered are like anagrams that mean the same
thing. There must be a word for that. Buggered does too, but has U in
it.

Considering that this is a used car and had multiple owners there is no
way to know the details of its history.
I suspect that the original bolt got damaged and someone used a
non-standard replacement, which is what most likely caused it to get
boogered up.
Not a big deal, just a little frustrating when you roll under the car
expecting to take 30 minutes and ending up taking longer.
What's important is that I was able to sort it out with minimal effort.
Considering the amount of work I have done on the car since I got it this
is the first and only time I have found something goobered up.

I guess every used car has its share of surprises, but I assumed your
140 wouldn't have surprises of the 'buggered by last fool who worked on
it' nature.
Reminds me of my first Saab, a 99EMS that I bought from the original
owner. 20,000 miles after I bought it, I checked the air filter (which
had been replaced by an import specialist indy just before I bought the
car) and found the bottom of the filter was seated off center and the
car had been sucking about 1/3 to 1/2 unfiltered air for as long as that
filter had been in the car.
I took the filter in to the indy and showed them the mark from the part
of the filter housing that was supposed to go INSIDE the filter, and the
guy basically said "so, what?". That should have been my first
indication that I should never let anybody else touch one of my cars.
Mitch.
