alright, so Im putting in rear disks for my 96 civic ex, and the upper stablizer bar (the small one w/ 2 bolts attaching to the frame--the one where ppl put washers to fix camber) yeah, so I was screwing the bolt in and accidentally stripped the threads inside the hole-- in the body of car. THeres no way to force the bolt in anymore, its really loose, and I dont know what to do??? could someone plz help, I need to go drive to school and work, ahhhh, this really sucks!!!

I heard that there's something that fixes threads, Im doubtful itll work. Also, could I take the car to a machine shop and have them re-thread that thing somehow?? give me some advice plz..

You can either get the threads repaired or get a longer bolt, drill all the way through to the inside of the car and put a nut on the end.....

Do a little checking though to see where the bolt will come out, as I am not sure.

thanx guys, any details about how to get the threads repaired or anywhere in the bay area that I can get this done at?

There is one thing you can try. Its called a tap. Go to your local Home depot and ask about a tap. What it does is create new threads in the socket so you can put the bolt back on. Good luck.

Yes you can get a tap, and tap the nut with a bigger thread, and find the same thread bolt, and there ya go..
