Broken strut mount bolt(insulator assembly)

ben1620 · 08-21-2012, 12:11 AM

I broke one of the three mounting bolts on the front strut insulator assembly. A new assembly is $70+ so I'm wondering if just the bolt is replaceable.

I was reading about it on another forum and the were saying u could get a matched bolt at a body shop or possibly a parts store. The guy then said stop by a welding shop and have them tack it then good to go. This was not on a Nissan btw

Thanks for any help

you can find some used stock struts for less than that in the for sale forum. i got 2 front top hats for FREE. unfortunately...both sets of mine are in used

I took top hat off the strut and it looks like way too much work to get the bolt out; especially without knowing if I can find a matched replacement. I ordered a new assembly for half of retail and I'm just hoping it will get here before the weekend. Lessen learned.
