Default need help with intermediate shaft support bracket....

I noticed a few weeks ago that the metal support peice from the half shaft that bolts onto the block came loose so bascially that piece was just swinging back and forth while i drove the car. I placed three bolts in the holes and bolted it up but I noticed for some reason I could not get the bolts to fit snugly in place so I tightend it as much as I could. After a week of driving i noticed two of the bolts had come undone and today the last bolt came off!!
How can i get the bolts to go back in? obviously the threads are stripped or something otherwise it wouldn't be so easy for the bolts to come out. Any suggestions?

there are special bolts for the int. shaft. if you stripped the bolts,thats a different story.

a good auto parts store might be able to set you up with a Helicoil thread repair kit, but that might be pretty hard to do under there.

You need the proper bolts from Honda that center the bracket. If you just use any bolt the bracket will move up and down and the bolts will come loose. Just hope that you didn't strip them.
