it is a CAPTIVE NUT.
This is a normal thread.And another...
Second picture shows the start better.^ Have a look at the video manual at about 1 minute 13 seconds.
I didn't care before - but now I need to know - was the remnant a left hand or right hand thread?This morning I removed the bolt and cut the nut off.
It now has a nut on it so it doesn't matter. In cases where bolts are going to be covered in wet dirt I always grease them before assembly. Doesn't always work but it does help.Worth putting the bolt in the other way round so it's easier next time?

So many people including garages don't do this and then wonder why the bush is shot in 6 months.This morning I removed the bolt and cut the nut off.

Final tightening done once car was back on its wheels on car ramps so as no to distort the rubber bush.
