2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission stripped threads

[rtwingson]

I stripped the threads on one of the frame mounting locations for the front swaybar. Has anyone ever fixed one of these before?

Shouldn't be too much of a job to heli-coil that. The proper size kit is about 25 dollars. You can also try drilling and taping up one size. The sway bars don't see alot of downward force.

My first choice would be a Helicoil, if you try tapping to a larger size sometimes it works good to go up a 1/2 size by changing from metric to SAE, 10mm would tap to 7/16 SAE.
