Hey guys. On one of the sway bar mounts on the front of the truck it's stripped out where it goes into the frame. The only way I can think of to fix it is to drill a hole in the side of the frame to get to the nut or whatever the bolt goes in to. Is there an easier way to do this?

 

No holes around you can stick something in to? Did it strip, or, did the nut in there simply come loose??

 

The nut in the frame is stripped. I didn't see any openings anywhere around there in the frame. I thought about trying to use a tap but I don't know how well that would work or if it would just strip out again when I tried to tighten it down.

 

Im having the same issue. Drilled and tapped the holes and used fix a thread last night. The frame end where it mounts is boxed so you cant get to the inside. If that dosnt work im going to either run leaf spring ubolts or drill the top of the frame and run through the frame. If that doesnt work i guess i will have to weld some steel plate

 

Use a tap and a helicoil.

 

Yea thats what I did, just wasn't sure if they would stand up to torque spec and down pressure. I imagine instantaneous failure at highway speed would be less than plesent.
