Default Broke a strut mount bolt
I installed a used set of front strut assemblies on my '02 SL2. When I tightened the upper mount nuts, one of the bolts sheared off. Will I be able to get away with just the other two, or am I "screwed"?.Thanks.

REWARD EXCELLENCE!

What were you torqueing down to? They only need to be tightened to 21 lb-ft. Thats not very much.
