Hey all.

So I thought I'd give my 89 2wd a little lift up front... little did I know the P/O had already cranked them to the max. I should have measured first, but I'm an idiot, so after a couple of turns I sheared off the head of one bolt. It was weird because there was very little resistance, almost like it was made of aluminum or something. It was turning normally, until it wasnt.

Anyways, the front seems to be holding, but is it safe to be driving on it like that? The bold head isn't holding it in place, so theoretically it should be ok until I find a way to drill it out, correct?
I've also seen other guys on here have them shoot through the floor so I'd like to try and avoid that if I could!

TLDR idiot crawls to yotatech for help after screwing up, pun intended.

 

I personally would not drive with a broken t-bar bolt.
Pretty common for them to break, especially if you have corrosion - I think most people get them at dealers, they're roughly $20/ea.
