Reply to "Broken Stud - Rear Sway Bar Mount"

I think the factory studs are probably 8.8 just like most fasteners on Panteras. The car came to me with damage to the stud. It was bent at almost 90 degrees, maybe from lowering the car after jacking and the stud caught on something. When I tried to straighten it the stud snapped off. Thus, the snapped stud was due to a mishap and not from driving the car.

I'm not sure why those welds are there but the car does have a thick steel plate that is impervious to the jack and no need for wood on this one. I have used a block of wood on my previous Panteras.

My other Pantera is very messed up from jacking. The sheet metal is now round. I use a jack pad for it to avoid making it worse.
