The long bottom bolt came out really nice and the nut threads 0n perfect
The Top WAS A NIGHTMARE??
coming out the bolt seem to angle weird. when i finally got it out
2 of the threads on the bolt were completely GONE!!!
Inside the nut i notice 1 thread has a chunk missing
Im trying to replace the stabilizer links but what can i do with the bolt?
I cant drive my car with out the link right?????

Should i attempt a Lows or Home depot Replacement bolt and nut?
or is there a place to order the exact bolt?
should i just get a lows or home depot bolt and go to junk yard after and steal an old one?
I NEED TO FIX THIS TONIGHT ITS MY ONLY CAR!!THAT RUNS

Well, if you need the car ready by tonight, I'd say a trip to Lowe's or Home Depot is in order, provided you get a bolt\nut with the proper grade to match original.

yah thats true no need junk bolts
they did not have the exact bolt 7/16 "-20 x 2 3/16"
they had a 7/16"-20 x 2 1/2
its a bit longer but it worked
i think ill just order that exact bolt size online and replace again since its super easy. i just think they made it that size for a reason?
thanks for your help AllanG Saved the night
