Yep it's safe.. I done it for 6 months without any problems.. I'd get it fixed as soon as you can though.. Also Have you tried maybe using a tap and dye to fix the threads?

In the short term yes. Do not go nuts with your car during this time. I work out at Sears and we charge like 60 bucks to install it if your desperate. Do a search to see how to put one in.

retap it and it should be fine... main thing is to get the nut to screw onto the bolt and by tap/cleaning it, you should be able to do that..

I have put one in before b/c i snapped a different one in half, and its a bitch to do to say the least.... i won't be able to do it for a few days though and i was just checking to see if it was ok to drive it on 3 lugs for a while -- thanks
