My mom has a 99 rs, and my step dad was putting in a front strut bar for her, and he broke 2 out of the 3 bolts on the left strut (left if you stand in front looking under the hood) How dangerous is it if she drives like this? What do we need to do to fix her car? She has to go to Florida tomorrow and needs her car, is it safe to drive there with only the 1 bolt left on there? Please dont give us bad news.. Thanks alot guys

Well any news is going to be bad news i believe. I, myself, would not drive it like that. It is not very safe.
 
I honestly don't see how he could/would break those bolts trying to loosen them. :( O well me honestly I'm a daredevil I would drive it but I know the whole time I was driving I would be going like 20... :laugh:


Cliffs: Don't drive it, Explain how he broke them.
 
You should be able to go to any auto parts store and get a new strut tower mount. I don't remember how much they are but they are not super expensive.

To answer the question. No I would not drive the car like that. It could get dangerous if the 3rd bolt snaps
