this cant be good

on second though, the cars probably totalled.... just limp it here and i'll take the motor off your hands.

Might want to just try hammering the bolts back up from underneath, they have splines. Could get away with just that.

you need to replace the upper strut mount or find a way to tighten them up. You could just buy some of the same size nuts and bolts and replace them for example.

The Bearing studs are loose? Sketch i would just buy two new bearings and upgrade the steering at the same time!

So what exactly do you mean by "mean when i move the bolt, the nut moves with it"? Are the studs in the strut mount turning or are the nuts just loose? Why can't you just tighten the nuts?

haha, thats what i figured. Ill do the best i can to keep the wheels on the ground.

You'll probably be ok, just keep an eye on it and take it easy. I don't think I'd be trying to go off any jumps like them Duke boys either, haha.

how bad is it to continue to drive with it like this? 1 of the nuts/bolts is still perfectly in tact.

im going to replace it, but idk when ill be able to considering this crappy weather and my hectic work schedule.

[BlackSpeed66]

Maybe it's just the strut mount? You'd have to pull the whole assembly to replace it but at least you wouldn't have to replace the whole strut.

so while tidying up my engine bay the other day i noticed that 2 of the 3 strut tower nuts/bolts on the passenger side were loose. When i say loose i mean when i move the bolt, the nut moves with it. Idk wtf happened, but it cannot be good. How do i fix this? do i need a new strut housing?



the ones circled in red are the loose ones. (pic was taken before i noticed the problem, there is no tower brace on now)
