yep i sure did put it back in. actually when i went to take the old one off, apparently the person that had my car before me didnt put that bolt back in themselves lol but yeah my father in law machanis said that it would be more stable to put the top one in.

If I left that bolt out, it would be my luck that one of the other one's would break and the starter would fall out while I'm going down the highway.

I'm not debunking what anyone thinks, but I tend to believe the automakers pay a lot of money to engineers who design and plan how this stuff should go together and if they designed it with 3 bolts, it should have 3 bolts. That bolt on top of the starter will certainly take years off your life though!
