Shardul Hit it on the Head




And it turns out that my rear sub frame bolt snapped off

Just like shardul said thanks man
Pass rear

Driver rear
Drill the old bolt out, the nut is welded onto the chassis and it will be use less since the threads will get messed up when you drill it out. Use a longer bolt and nut assembly. You will have to cut some sheet metal to thread the nut in on the longer bolt.
1 hr job if you have the right tools

I assume the bolt is under repeated heavy load which ultimately leads to failure. Given these cars are now 7+ years old, maybe its a good call to replace every 5 -6 years just to be safe? -And while they are still removable

Now of the bolts are strong the chassis mounting points are also know to tear so if this happens in the future you all are looking to spend major money to fix.




I'll pick them up for you
