Stripped swaybar mount!

[Matt Weiser]

One of the threaded frame holes where the swaybar mounts to the frame on my car is stripped.

Anybody know a way to repair this? Will I have to rethread for a larger bolt, or what?

I just went through that Magilla . I took the bolt to a tool store and went up the next size 7/16ths i think off hand, i used ARP SS bolts the bolt head is smaller so you could get a socket on it . Go slow with the tap and spray it down with oil . Worked out fine

Same thing happened to me a while back when I was still running a front sway bar....I replaced all four bolts with studs and welded them in.

Thanks four the tips. Sounds like a thrill. Looks like GM shoulda made those mounts a lot beefier!
