broken subframe bolt :(

[babowc]

does anyone know how i can get this repaired correctly?

i was trying to install my subframe bushings and *crack* POP* and the nut just falls off, :(

i can drive around with one busted bolt, but i dont want to risk it for too long, so if anyone knows how to do this! please tell meeee

[flip]

So did it strip out the nut or did it break off the bolt thats attached to the frame? not quite sure i understand what broke...

[hellfire]

I have a subframe for sale... ;)

broke.

Ok, gotcha. You'll most likely need to get it welded back on.

[babowc]

blah..
it actually only broke off .5" but i cant do anything because the threaded part is where it broke off.

hm.. im going to guess that it'll be a costly job if done @ a shop?
involving dropping the subframe?
nooooooo

Droping the subframe is not hard. I don't think it would be TOO expensive... Let me ask up at the shop tomorrow and see what I can find out.

yeah
i dont think ill have a problem dropping the subframe..
i looked it over via fsm.. its only 4 nuts and the rear shocks holding it up.

only thing that would hinder me.. would probably be the welding of the stud.
i have a fluxcore at home, but im not sure if it'll be enough for the stud?

bah..

Yah, dropping it is really easy. I would not mess around with the subframe since it's what makes your car roll :). Get it done right...

[Koukidrftr]

take a picture... are there threads still showing that you could put the nut on?

[babowc]

hm.. i havent even checked for if there were threaded portion left..
the thing sheered right off where the subframe rubber ends.

[flip]

So yeah, it doesnt' really mater if there are threads or not since you couldn't get the nut over it...
