Re: Need help w/a broken stud pls

[drew <drew@dyermaker.cs.uoguelph.ca>]

The stud is pressed into the strut bearing - you could drill it through
and put a bolt through it, or you could replace the strut bearing - which
requires removal of the strut assembly from the car. 

The stud will not be available as a separate part.

Strut bearings are not overly expensive, adn unless it's new it likely
needs replacing anyways... :)

HTH,
