There is no chance you could get a bolt that big, that far through if it was threaded. It would have started spinning before it got that far.

Not sure why you are concerned if you managed to torque it up ok.

One thing i have experienced with this particular bolt is that some of the new bolts rimmers supplied bottomed out on the shoulder before the shock absorber was tight, so the washer could be spun with the bolt tight in the hole. I added an additional washer to resolve it, but was a bit frustrating at the time, and i thought at first that it was just tight.
