this cant be good

So does the whole strut move side to side also? I would e afraid of the strut widening the holes in the tower or the last bolt snapping while you are driving.

I would be worried about enlarging the holes in your fenders, that said the nuts have most likely been loose and wearing shit out for a while now, it's your call really if you feel safe driving it. I drove my eta with a gland nut smashed and basically no left front shock for a month before I did the suspension.

the strut does not move, ill keep an eye on the holes in the fender holes. What would i need to do to fix/replace the factory studs?

[nrubenstein]

Cut off the studs and then put bolts in. It's a quick short term measure.

[Joe G]

good idea, thanks!

[Adrian_Visser]

How are you going to reach the head of the bolt to put a wrench on it exactly?

[Joe G]

bolts from the top i assume

since i cant afford camber plates right now, will i have any issues driving the car as is?

I wouldn't drive the car as is ... and with only one bolt holding the front corner of your car on, a failure here could kill you, perhaps someone else, least of all your car.

Fix it right - get under there, take things apart and assess the extent of the problem. Replace what is required.

Just get new strut mounts. Geeze.

Like $60 a side.

Take an afternoon off to fix your car. Or bring it somewhere to have it done. Not worth the risks.
