Default GT500 Strut Mounts Broken Stud

Hi All,

After months with the parts sitting in my garage I decide to install the lowering springs in my car and messed up big time. LOL
I was tightening the nuts in the GT500 strut mount and broke one of the studs.

Is it safe to drive with only 3 studs while I get the replacement?
Is there any way to replace only the stud?
Anyone has a spare one and is willing to sell?

Thanks!

BTW, the car looks much better without the 4x4 look. I'll post pictures once I get it clean. :-)

I would contact Latemodel Restoration ASAP tomorrow and get another set in the mail.

I wouldn't push the car hard at all turning just to be safe on 3 studs, even though it should be okay.
