Driving without a Subframe bolt?

[hypergenesis]

While I was doing my clutch I was taking off teh lower subframe/crossmember bolt connected to the radiator supports and had the bolt break inside. I already replaced teh entire clutch and now I was wondering is it same to drive on until I take it to get fixed?

Thanks

If its seized well enough it could work to your advantage: the rust/seized metal could hold the subframe along with the metal bumper threads.

If theres movement on the subframe bar I would try to get it fixed asap... the other motor mounts will hold the engine weight just fine I'm sure but I would rather not have that last bolt snap on a pothole.

Yea thats what I was thinking I ended up just taking it off and using some loctite on it for the time being. I tried drilling to use an easy out but it didn't work so well

You might wanna try keeping the bit lubricated if it rounds it.

Remember you have to go backwards when using an easy out..And If you put loctite on bolts, the easiest way to get them to come out is by heating them up..

You should have two bolts holding the crossmember on. That should be fine for the time being. Just don't forget about it.
