While reading the thread about 4" hole under the gas tank and the protective cover for the steering rack I decided to get under mine to see if I need the protective cover. Yes, I do, and I found something I did not expect a sheared-off bolt head. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
See photos. Right side ok, left side not so good. No clue what caused it was but it is painted over and not fresh - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) must have existed when I bought the car. I know this is not correct and needs to be fixed. I don't know what these supports are holding but I suspect it is the front axle. Is it dangerous? How urgent should it be? Anyone have a feel for the difficulty in removing that sheared bolt?   |
