So i fear i may have rounded off the mounting nut that holds the bolt on the rear shock bottom mount.
Whats the options here?
Am i looking at a new rear axle for the mount? Or can i tap it and put in a bigger bolt? Obviously i know that both are an option but wjats easiest? If i tap it what size bolt can i then use? Telling me if a bolt from another model wpuld be ideal... i.e. dont go yh use bigger bolt. I would like info like yh bigger bolt from rear shock in a mk 3 astra.... for example
Any help is muchos appreciated
