Reply to "Broken Stud - Rear Sway Bar Mount"

Drilling through the broken stud, through the head and tapping it is all that you need to do.

The tack welded head will act as a captive nut and the tack welds keep it from turning. Those welds were strong enough to not spin when you snapped off the original stud. Don't hit it with an impact wrench to tighten the new bolt though.

Use plenty of oil on the tap and then on the new bolt and tighten it by hand.

I had a couple of the original studs snap off on me also and drilling and tapping what was left worked for me.
