any help would be appreciated.

 

Search Bro.. Just get a new Stud and bolt.

 

fix what ...give us more details ....all i see is missing strut bar bolt

 

[EDIT]haha.. no help at that link!

 

I was looking for places that I could get this fixed at ( the broken strut bar bolt)

 

Howd that happen?

 

Over torque I would assume.

 

buy a new Spoon tower bar

 

actually i was driving while this happened. freeway on ramp, one of the loop ones.i just heard a pop and then something bouncing under my car.

 

buy a new Spoon tower bar
That's exactly what I did.

 

Drill it out and then buy a small plate and stud and you will have to insert it from under ... Check http://www.comptechusa.com and look in the installs section for their front sturt tower bar for civics and do exactly what they say. The also have the part you need but I don't know if it's available seperately....

 

oh,..wow...that sucks I guess you gonna have to sell your car.

 

Man drill it out then use a tap and die set and fix it, it will take 5 minutes

 

haha that happened to two of mine so i just took it all off . **** broke with only a little force on it

 

stick a bolt in through the tire well and rebolt it down?

what's the problem?

If you need to drill it out then do that.

 

i heard you can just hammer it out from the top.

 

Buy my spoon y0!

 

get the spoon ... that happend to me too..

 

this happened to me as well. the body shop told me that you can't order just the stud. apparently the studs come welded from the factory to the whole piece of metal that your shock goes under. So they said to replace it would be a waste of money. So I would suggest jerry rigging it like the above posts. Does anyone even know if there is that much of a difference with one bolt missing?

 

You loose 25% stiffness Plus your putting more stress on the other bolt. You might break off the other while driving.

I may as well add myself to this group. I've been driving around for a year with one of my bolts busted. I guess i can't make it any worse by drilling it out.

 

why is everyone saying to get the spoon?? doe sit botl to a different location? the susp. bolts??

 

on my '96 RS there were rubber plugs in those holes. You just had to buy a couple of bolts/nuts and put a bar on there.

You could buy the Skunk2 or Spoon, but why not just buy a bolt/nut?

 

the sp00m bolts to the shock top bolts.

 

thats what i thought
