Default Help NEEDED need one group N top strut mount for TOMORROW!

so I was going to check the bolts and make sure everything is to "spec".... put new lug nuts on the wheel... 67 lb/ft check....

14.5lb/ft for top strut mount...... "no click... no click.. no click..click.."

ok.. first one is good...

second one.. "no click.. no click.. no click... POP!" Rolling sound....

you guessed it.. I just snapped the bolt.... and the first "click" i heard on the first bolt.. is acutally made by the bolt... it didn't pop.. it "clicked" but it snapped the bolt.. just enough for it to fall off when the second one popped..

and my group N mount is only... 5 days old? HAHAHHA..


checked my torque wrench... adding up the dial... freakin' 15lbs!!!

can't believe .5 difference snapped the bolt.


I felt like a retard wanting everything to "spec" yet snapped the bolts...

Long story short, I need ONE group N top mount for the passenger side front strut. If you have one, or if you are a vendar and is close to Everett, Please let me know if you have one ASAP!

I gotta get this fixed. I have to commute to Seattle daily now for work.... since they are fixing the freeway.. i don't feel safe driving ont it with all those edge drops and all...

Please let me know!!!

Thanks!

Been there.. Done that.. Too strong for our own good. Too bad I don't have an extra one for you but maybe you can stop by Chaplin's and pick one up from Jaime. Consider this a 2-spot bump for you.

Re-read your post. 405 to Bellevue in the morning is a nightmare. Maybe stop by Carter's in North Seattle/Shoreline in the morning?
