Help with broken stud on strut mount.

[stang7300]

So I was removing my strut tower brace earlier and me being Mr. Torque the Dumbass, I broke the stud off my strut mount. I'm getting them replaced along with struts, shocks, springs and adjustable panhard bar tomorrow.

I thought I wasn't giving it too much torque. Come to find out my new torque wrench doesn't "click". Was using the the 25 lb*ft +/- 3 per the FRPP instructions.

Do you think it is safe to drive 80 miles to the shop like this? I live in the middle of nowhere and there isn't another shop closer.

Yup, you'll be fine. Try not to do any high speed curb jumping.

Without doing stupid shit, how would any of us learn anything?

Very true.

Not a big deal to drive like that. When you replace the Mounts, upgrade them to a better set.

You're right...we're all knuckleheads at one time or another.
