uh-oh, I broke a bolt
uh-oh, I broke a bolt
i broke one of the shock tower stud bolts off on the driverside shock tower...
what should i do about fixing it, and will i have to take it to a shop?
are these pressed in or welded?
i'm hoping this can be fixed where it sits but i'm not sure if there is enough room and i don't really want to drop the k-member...
Also how unsafe is it to drive around with just the three bolts tightened?

I would say the whole shock/spring assy would have to come out. You'll probably have to buy a new top mount. I can't remember if the stud is welded or swaged. Another possibility would be to drill it out and put a bolt/nut on it.
