ive got a 03 Grand Prix GT with a stripped bolt on the right sway bar near the front. I'm guessing it was overtightened.
I was wonfering if anyone has popped a bigger bolt into the hole to rethread it, or just repositioned the bar.

 

no. you dont just "pop a bigger bolt into the hole" you drill it, tap it, and helicoil it.

 

Damn Kenny, It looks like he has you beat on teh undercarriage effects!

 

i dont care, ill give a mufuh epileptic seizures. w0rd.

 

That sounds complicated, would you happen to have a link to details on that special procedure? It bothers me that its stripped =/

 

what are you not understanding? take your original bolt and go buy a helicoil kit from napa. the directions are on the package

 

Lol Kenny. U sound so serious. But like Kenny said, all you do is drill the bolt hole out than u re thread it (tap) for a bigger bolt than u put this spring like looking (helicoil) thing inside, and it will create new threads for the smaller bolt (original size) again.

 

helicoil kit will have everything he needs minus drill and bit. it comes with a tap and coils and coil screw

 

sweet I got it now, the briefness of the explanation had me. I'm on dat next week thx.
